Abstract

The Charta of paediatric infectious diseases, which was printed in Athens, Greece in 1912, contains instructions for school students on the prevention of paediatric infectious diseases occurring in Greece at the beginning of the 20th century. It consists of four sections: i) The official circular of the Department of the School of Hygiene of the Hellenic Ministry of Education on the protection of school students from acute infectious diseases signed by the minister on January 31, 1912; ii) an introductory section on the definition of infectious diseases, the modes of their transmission and the conditions required for the inactivation of microbial activity; iii) a section with general preventative measures against paediatric infectious diseases; and iv) a section with information and specialized measures against specific paediatric infectious diseases. It also contains colourful images of children with different infectious diseases, including smallpox, measles, diphtheria, varicella, eye trachoma and other infectious diseases involving the skin. The Charta of paediatric infectious diseases is exhibited at the Museum of School Students' Life in Aliveri, on the island of Euboea in Greece and was recently reprinted in the context of the 10th workshop on paediatric virology organized by the Institute of Paediatric Virology on November 9, 2024.
