RESUMEN
Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX surgió un poderoso movimiento sanitario internacional como expresión de la importancia política y económica del binomio salud-enfermedad. Desde los años 1850 una larga serie de conferencias sanitarias internacionales sobre epidemias, higiene, beneficencia, tuberculosis, salud materno-infantil y sanidad rural reunieron a médicos, diplomáticos y gobernantes de muchos países para buscar soluciones políticas al impacto social de las enfermedades. Surgía así una diplomacia sanitaria internacional como vía de debate y solución de los principales problemas de salud. Según las estadísticas oficiales, la elevada prevalencia de enfermos sifilíticos al iniciarse el siglo XX disparó las alarmas ante los problemas de prevención y tratamiento de la enfermedad. Se convocaron dos conferencias internacionales sobre la sífilis. Este artículo analiza las contribuciones y debates entre los expertos internacionales, los argumentos médico sanitarios, morales y sociales, y las reacciones políticas, las regulaciones nacionales de la prostitución, así como las iniciativas y recomendaciones internacionales. Las principales fuentes utilizadas son las reglamentaciones nacionales, y las ponencias, informes y debates que tuvieron lugar durante las dos Conferencias internacionales sobre la sífilis, celebradas en París y Bruselas, entre 1898 y 1902 (AU)
ABSTRACT
During the second half of the XIX century a powerful international health movement appeared as the expression of the political and economic importance of the health-disease relationship. From 1850 a long series of international health conferences on epidemics, hygiene, charity, tuberculosis, mother-baby health and rural health brought together doctors, diplomats and governors from many countries to look for political solutions to the social impact of disease. An international health diplomacy arose from this as a channel for debate and solution to the main health problems. According to official statistics, the elevated prevalence of syphilitics at the beginning of the XX century set off the alarm regarding the problems of preventing and treating the disease. Two international conferences on syphilis were convened. This article analyses the contributions and debates among the international experts, the medico-sanitary, moral and social arguments, and the political reactions, national regulations for prostitution as well as international initiatives and recommendations. The main sources used are national regulations, and the lectures, reports and debates that occurred during the two international Conferences on Syphilis, held in Paris and Brussels between 1898 and 1902 (AU)
