Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin on Organization and Progress of the Institute: And Bulletins From Section a-History and Statistics, Section C-Transmission; And Section D-Quarantine Management and Treatment; March, 1902
Although the fact is well known that at various times yellow fever has gained a foothold in Europe, no adequate idea can be had of its widespread prevalence at many places where it has been introduced except by a careful review of the literature of the disease. The extent of some of these accidental epidemics of yellow fever occurring outside of the regions of its periodic prevalence is made evident when it is remembered that at Barcelona, Spain, during the funereal epidemic of the year 1821, approximately persons died within five months Of yellow fever, and that, at Lisbon, Portugal, during the year 1857, in an epidemic of five months' duration, there were over persons stricken with the disease, the mortality being almost 50 per cent.
An outbreak of bubonic plague in a European city as disastrous as for example, the yellow fever epidemics mentioned would certainly give rise to the justifiable apprehension that the disease was likely to over run the Continent.
