Did south American natives give explorers any diseases when they came into contact with each other?

There are two good answers to this in the FAQ:

When Europeans brought diseases to the new world, how come Europeans themselves didn't get sick from diseases specific to the new world?

Post-Columbus diseases - did they go the other way?

Summary: Yes, diseases went both ways, but due to differences in population, far more diseases went from the 'Old World' to the new.
