Abstract

This image contains news about the measles epidemic in 1897. At the beginning of that year, some isolated cases were reported that initially did not cause concern. However, three or four months later, the situation changed drastically, with patients affected in all hospitals and in virtually all wards. Given the magnitude of the outbreak, the authorities intensified efforts to raise awareness among the population about the importance of preventing contagion and began to disseminate care measures to control the spread of the disease.
