Abstract
The objective of the paper is to present – based on only fragmentarily preserved case histories from the Internal Medicine Ward of the Bjelovar Hospital 1930–1931, and the mortuary from the same period – the massive dying of the patients hospitalised at the Internal Medicine Ward of the Bjelovar Hospital at that time. The predominant causes of death were infectious diseases. This massive dying was a reflection and a result of the way of life and the epidemic diseases of that time, and the pre-antibiotic era. The number of patients in care of one specialist and the diversity of pathologies add another dimension to the already well-known work of Prim. Dr Franjo pl. Fanton (1897–1970), the first internist at the Bjelovar County Hospital and head of the Department for Internal and Infectious Diseases with Paediatric Section (1925–1958).
