In a study covering one hundred years of our republican history, Catalina Saldaña eloquently and rigorously documents the recognition of syphilis, the tracking of cases, and the recording of strict clinical practices, the implementation of curative and preventive treatments, and the debate surrounding international literature and its confrontation with local cases. It contributes to understanding the historical trajectory of a disease and the public health policies implemented to contain its spread, as well as the analysis of the historical construction of local scientific knowledge.
