Sažetak
BEN was noticed in 1955/6 and proved to be a specific nosologic entity in the Brodska Posavina focus in 1957. Constant investigations among population in the last 14 years, observation of the newly diseased at the Medical Centre Slavonski Brod accompanied by investigation of mortality have shown that the disease has been about equally present through the 30-year long period. It has not disappeared from any of the endemic villages but it either has not emerged beyond any of the set focus boundaries. According to the investigations in six villages near large water currents, the disease has not been found in the broader region of Slavonia.
