title: [Sanitary and antiepidemic regulations of medical services of the state administration in Lodz at the turn of the XIXth and XXth c. (till 1914)].
abstract: At the turn of XIX and XX c., because of the spreading of acute infectious diseases in Lodz, the medical services of the state administration, responsible for the public health care, were obliged to publish and to enforce different sanitary and anti-epidemic regulations. They contained basic instructions e.g. the care of sanitary state of dwellings, hospitalization of infectious patients and isolation of persons suspected of contact with diseased, disinfection and anti-smallpox vaccination. Such prophylactic and therapeutic activity was neither systematic nor complementary due to the bureaucratic and incompetent administration of Lodz affairs by municipal authorities and had no essential influence on the melioration of the sanitary situation of the city and of the health of its inhabitants.
