RESUMEN
Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de confeccionar un material de apoyo a la docencia, sobre el comportamiento histórico de las principales enfermedades infecciosas que han ocurrido en el territorio nacional desde la época colonial hasta la actualidad. Se abordó el desarrollo de la infectología en Cuba, señalando a las más representativas figuras que se destacaron en este campo de la medicina, así como sus importantes acciones y descubrimientos. Hubo una alta incidencia de las enfermedades infecciosas antes del triunfo revolucionario debido en gran medida a aspectos higiénico- sanitario y a la incapacidad de los gobiernos imperantes para controlar la situación. A partir de 1959, se vio un desarrollo acelerado del sistema de salud que dió definitivamente al traste con aquella triste realidad(AU)
ABSTRACT
A literature review was made with the aim of building material to support teaching on the historical behavior of the main infectious diseases that have occurred in the country since colonial times to the present. The development of infectious diseases in Cuba, pointing to the most representative figures who stood out in this field of medicine and its important actions and findings were discussed. There was a high incidence of infectious diseases before the Revolution largely due to hygienic conditions and the inability of governments to control the prevailing situation aspects. Since 1959, there was a rapid development of the health system and that definitely gave a different view on that sad reality(AU)
