If more information is known, you can use the {{Roll of Honor}} template to display an image and short description to the profile, and add the profile to the category, cut and paste the following to the profile text below the ==Biography== section, replacing <item> with actual value:

{{Roll of Honor
| category = <Died of Disease>, <United States of America>, <World War II>

| war = <World War II>}}

using this template, you will see the following on the profile page, with the profile also being added to the category identified.

[[Category: Died of Disease]]
[[Category: Died of Disease, <country of service>]]

Adding the Profile to the Roll of Honor

The Roll of Honor is kept on a free space page.

go to Space:Died in Military Service and edit the page.

Scroll down until you get to the wikitable section.

Add information below the last line of the table header (when displayed it will sort alphabetically, so where in the list you add it is not important)

! scope="col"| Other Information
|-

Cut and paste the following to the table, replacing everything with actual values for that person:

| [[Wiki ID | Last Name]]
| First/Middle Names
| Date Of Birth as DD MMM YYYY
| Date Of Death as DD MMM YYYY
| Conflict
| Country
| [[Image:xxxx |90px|??]] (xxxx is an image of the Flag of Country)
| DoD<other info> <place of death> <branch of service> [[image:|35px|??]] (can display a small image if desired)
|-

For example:

|[[Aaron-211|Aaron]]
|Hubert Charles Titus
|22 Oct 1919
|7 Dec 1941
|WWII
|United States of America
|[[Image:WikiTree Profiles Roll of Honor-1.jpg|90px|??]]
|DoD [[Image:Photos-320.jpg|35px|??]]

Is there a particular image or sticker to use for those that died in the civil war of disease?

Thank you.

There aren't examples on the stickers page, but there are three sticker formats that properly categorize for this (be sure to add the brackets):
  1. For Union Soldiers or sailors:

Roll of Honor|category=Died of Disease, United States of America, United States Civil War|image=Roll of Honor Template-15.jpg|description=Died of Disease in Military Service|war=the United States Civil War

  1. For Confederate Soldiers or Sailors:

Roll of Honor|category=Died of Disease, Confederate States of America, United States Civil WarID|image=Roll of Honor Template-15.jpg|description=Died of Disease in Military Service|war=the United States Civil War

  1. For Soldiers and Sailors whose side is unknown:

Roll of Honor|category=Died of Disease, United States Civil War|image=Roll of Honor Template-15.jpg|description=Died of Disease in Military Service|war=the United States Civil War

They all appear the same on the profile pages, but each places the individual into the proper category.

If a person contracted a disease (such as Tuberculosis) while serving and died from that after the war was ended, does that constitute "Died of Disease"?

I understand that I may instead use the category for the service arm and war that is applicable, but the definition does not seem to specify the "when".

I know this was asked long ago, but for what it is worth IMO the answer should be yes.
