Abstract
The author presents a historical review about the creation of Doctor Lucio Cordova Infectious Diseases Hospital. Lucio Cordova MD, Counselor of the Charity Board in 1938, promoted a model pavilion for the hospitalization of patients with communicable diseases. An outbreak of meningococcal meningitis, between 1941 and 1942, hurried the construction of the Infectious Disease Pavilion, which was finished in 1949. The important work of the first chief of the new unit, Roque Kraljevic MD, is highlighted. In 1963, the Infectious Disease Pavilion was transformed into Dr. Lucio Cordova Infectious Diseases Hospital.
