[Specific aspects of prevention of infectious diseases during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina].
The fact that infectious disease can be dangerous for people in near surroundings and far off places speaks in favour that the world is a unique epidemiologic entity. Reasons for appearance infectious diseases are in etiologic agenses as in conditions of life and social environment which is destroyed because of war here. The authors presented statistic parameters general of morbidity of infectious diseases for 1991/92. in BiH and the first 9 months 1993 for Sarajevo. From 37 kinds of infectious diseases in BiH 1991 were registered 25,339 cases with morbidity of 589,27 and in 1992 for 32 infectious diseases registered 10,741, morbidity 499,58 for 100,000 population. In the first 9 months 1992 from 17 infectious diseases got ill 2520 people, morbidity was 697,71 and in the same time 1993 were ill 7086 with morbidity 1961,90 on 100,000 population (as result of enterocolitis and virus hepatitis). Specific preventions characterises impossibility of making adequate anti-epidemic and other preventive measures because of missing equipment and other important things for work. We made great efforts to bring the epidemiologic situation under the control.
