Because the paper was published in the New England Quarterly Journal of Medicine and Surgery,3 a journal with a very small circulation which ceased publication after only one year, it went largely unnoticed until it was republished in 1855 as a booklet entitled Puerperal Fever, as a Private Pestilence.4 Holmes argued the controversial view that physicians with unwashed hands were responsible for transmitting puerperal fever from patient to patient. |
