Disease Mapping. A Brief Incursion on the Health Map of Physician Carl Denarowski

Summary/Abstract: Over the centuries, physicians and non-physicians have created their histories of the relationship between health and the environment. In an attempt to discern the mechanisms of disease onset, development, and spread, they tried to link statistics to geography and history and their experience to their contemporary challenges. Although in Europe there is already a tradition of mapping diseases, in the Austrian Empire, only a few maps have been drawn up representing the health system or the state of health of the population. One of them belongs to the doctor Carl Denarowski, who was the health officer of Bukovina in the 1880s. The article deals with the importance of this map, pointing out its peculiarities, its original and innovative character and the echoes that persisted long after its publication. It also presents the major epidemic and endemic diseases that Denarowski identified, mapped and described in the study that accompanied the map.
