back from

[Dr.Appalayya]

Back from Mecca, I got taken by an epidemic fever.

Does the above sentence give the meaning that the moment I was back from Mecca, I got taken by an epidemic fever?

To me sounds better:

I got sick with an epidemic fever.

Please read with 'back from Mecca' and help with an answer.

Try:
Back from Mecca, I was overtaken by an epidemic fever

Agree with vachecow.

Yes, "back from Mecca" does mean after you got back from Mecca. It doesn't necessarily mean the moment you returned, but probably means sometime soon after you returned.
