[International scientific relations in the study of the clinical aspects and pathology of cholera (1817-1850)].
This review deals with scientific-medical international connections mainly in the investigation of the pathology of cholera in the first half of the XIX century. The attention is drawn to the struggle between "contagionist" (materialistic) and "myasmatic" (idealistic) trends in the epidemiology of that time. The works of Russian and foreign physicians are listed which served to the approach and reciprocal enrichment of the medical culture in European countries. The investigations in the field of pathology of the Asiatic cholera during the first half of the XIX century were summarized in a N. I. Pirogov's comprehensive publication which was highly appreciated by the German pathologists R. Virchov and V. Grizinger. It should be emphasized that N. I. Pirogov thoroughly studied and summarized clinical and pathological experience of his numerous predecessors--Russian and foreign scientists of that time who contributed to the study of cholera.
