Summary/Abstract: The paper is meant to emphasize some interrelations existing between the pathogenic agent and its host, the human body, during the Neo-Eneolithic and Bronze Age of Romania. This is a modest attempt to exploit the existing information from archaeology, bioarchaeology, and paleopathology in Romania, in fact, a starting point for other future studies. It refers, as an example, to specific infections, like tuberculosis, and to non-specific infections, like periostitis, osteitis, and osteomyelitis, but also to other illnesses.
