The pandemic “Spanish flu”, that in a few weeks of the autumn 1918 caused in Italy a number of deaths between 350.000 and 600.000, was widely discussed by the scientific community, although very little of that debate leaked out, because of the military censorship. In the present article we comment on the original papers describing the hemorrhagic pneumonia, and on discussions about the ideas of the origin of the pandemic infection (Pfeiffer bacillus, vs streptococcus or other bacteria vs a “viral hypotesis”) that occurred in Pathologica during and soon after that ominous pandemia.
La pandemia di influenza “spagnola”, che in poche settimane fece in Italia tra le 350.000 e le 600.000 vittime durante l’autunno di cento anni fa, fu largamente discussa dalla comunità scientifica. In questo articolo riportiamo il dibattito avvenuto tra il 1918 e il 1923 all’interno della rivista Pathologica, a proposito delle basi anatomo-patologiche della pandemia e del confronto di dati e opinioni sull’eziologia della grande infezione.

Abstract
The pandemic “Spanish flu”, that in a few weeks of the autumn 1918 caused in Italy a number of deaths between 350.000 and 600.000, was widely discussed by the scientific community, although very little of that debate leaked out, because of the military censorship. In the present article we comment on the original papers describing the hemorrhagic pneumonia, and on discussions about the ideas of the origin of the pandemic infection (Pfeiffer bacillus, vs streptococcus or other bacteria vs a “viral hypotesis”) that occurred in Pathologica during and soon after that ominous pandemia.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
