[Classical bacterial infections in the CSR].

In the CSSR Socialist Public Health has considerably restricted the existence of the so-called classical infectious diseases by the consequent introduction of effective protective vaccinations, but also by a series of further measures. By this means, however, the fight against infections has not yet been finished. New pathogens of infections are recognized, changed social conditions and modern therapeutic methods led to the occurrence of infections which were formerly not known. In detail a survey was given on presence, diagnostics and therapy of diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, scarlet fever and erysipelas, bacterial meningitides, typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever, enteritis-salmonelloses, bacterial dysentery and other diarrhoeas as well as leptospiroses, tularaemia, brucellosis and ornithosis.
