La natura del colera: contagiosa o epidemica? Visioni e teorie a Napoli durante l’epidemia del 1836 e la riflessione di Vincenzo Lanza (2020)

unapi

This work is an analysis about cholera epidemic which occurred in Naples in the 1836. The government and academic elite were afraid of disease. Medical knowledge was borderline between clinical observation and theoretical doctrines. The doubt concerned the origin of the cholera: was it contagious? The question could have consequences on the economic and social level, therefore physicians and government were careful. Some doctors thought that cholera was contagious, for other doctors it wasn’t. During cadaveric dissections someone found worms and the debate continued involving authoritative doctors. In the early 1840s, Vincenzo Lanza, one of doctors at the Ospedale della Consolazione, remembering cholera epidemic and the matter of worms, invited young collogues to study relations between pathological anatomy and parasitic worms.
