  • Title: [Using statistics of tuberculosis clinics and hospitals in the social and epidemiological history of the "white plague" in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries].
    Author: Neven M, Oris M.
    Journal: Ann Demogr Hist (Paris); 1995; ():225-39. PubMed ID: 11609071.
    Abstract:
    During the late XIXth and the beginning of the XXth centuries, the struggle against tuberculosis is a strong reason to redefine health as social gaming, and not as individual gaming anymore. Here the number of actors increases on the market of medical cares, involving some tensions. This paper compares (by the means of death causes statistics) people affected and treated in a local hospital, and those treated in the antitubercular health centres from the province of Liège. It studies the respective contribution of hospital records and statistics list of health centres to the historical epidemiology of the "white plague" and to social history of the health.
