Pathologica, vol. 114, no. 4, 2022, pp. 342--346
Abstract
The creation of hospitals providing specialist care is not a prerogative of our time. As the world wonders how to cope with new pandemics and the age-old problems of the transmission of infections and the isolation of the sick, while the COVID-19 pandemic has been raging, it might be worth glancing back at the period - just over a century ago - when sanatoriums were set up in Italy as part of the fight against consumption.
