title: [The origin of syphilis and the notes of Andres Bello].
abstract: When syphilis first appeared in Europe a debate emerged about the american or european origin of the disease. Some of the papers related to this issue are reviewed by the author, along with notes recovered by Andrés Bello at the British Museum (1810-1829). Bello later became the first Rector of the University of Chile (1842).
