Abstract

Puerperal fever was common in mid-19th -century hospitals and often fatal, with mortality at 10%-35%. Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis was a Hungarian gynecologist who is known as a pioneer of antiseptic pro- cedures. Semmelweis discovered that the incidence of puerperal fe- ver could be drastically cut by the use of hand disinfection in obstetri- cal clinics. He is also described as the savior of mothers and father of infection control . This paper provides an overview on the process of preventing puerperal fever and the life story of the physician behind this attempt, Ignaz Semmelweis, through philately.

Özet

19. yüzyıl ortalarında, hastanelerde lohusalık humması oldukça sık görülen, %10-35 arasındaki ölüm oranlarıyla genellikle fatal seyreden bir hastalıktı. Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis, antiseptik uygulamaların ön- cüsü olarak bilinen Macar jinekologtur ve jinekoloji kliniklerinde el dezenfeksiyonunun sağlanmasıyla birlikte lohusalık humması oranla- rının düşürülebileceğini keşfetmiştir. Kendisi aynı zamanda annele- rin kurtarıcısı ve enfeksiyon kontrolünün babası olarak da tanınır. Bu çalışma,filateli aracılığıyla lohusalık hummasının önlenmesi süre- cine ve bu sirecin arkasındaki hekim olan Ignaz Semmelweisın haya- tına genel bir bakış sunmayı hedeflemektedir.
