Overview

Typhus fever was a lethal disease of mankind. Elucidation of its origin and spread was due to moreor less unscientific approaches at the time. Only in the second half of the 19th and at the beginningof the 20th century the period of a scientific approach to knowledge of its etiology, clinical aspectsand epidemiology started. A great contribution was made in this respect by Czech doctors. The latterincluded Professor Hlava who made a series of experiments which were among the first whichinvestigated the etiology of this disease. He may be therefore quite rightly included among one ofthe discoverers of the origin of typhus fever.

Key words:
typhus fever – Czech doctors – Prof. Hlava.
