Abstract

In 1847 the Royal Association for Physicians of Budapest called upon the physicians of the country to give an account of their experience concerning the intermittent fever set in the previous year in the form of an unusual extended epidemic. Four physicians of Pápa (Sándor Cseresnyés, Sámuel Pserhofer, Dávid József Deutsch and József Hoffelder) answered the call. According to the traditions of the age they gave a short description in the first part of their report on the geographic surroundings and climatic conditions of their area as well as on the people’s way of life, their nutrition and dressing. As chief medical officer of county Veszprém József Hoffelder wrote a more detailed report at the end of 1848 in which he dealt with the groups of people living there, the public health situation and the health care institutions more thoroughfully than the others.
