Das Kindbettfieber [German]

By Robert Ferguson

Das Kindbettfieber (Childbed Fever) by Robert Ferguson, originally published in 1839, is a historical medical text addressing puerperal fever, a significant cause of maternal mortality in the 19th century. Ferguson, a prominent physician, provides insights into the understanding and treatment of this infectious disease during a period when germ theory was not yet fully established. This work offers valuable perspectives on the history of obstetrics, the challenges faced by medical practitioners, and the evolution of medical knowledge. It remains relevant for students and researchers interested in the history of medicine, infectious diseases, and women's health. The book provides a detailed account of the symptoms, causes, and potential remedies as they were understood at the time, reflecting the medical practices and scientific limitations of the era.
