Korovnikova Disease

Cow disease is a historical name that was given in honor of the Russian doctor Alexander Fedorovich Korovnikov. He was one of the first scientists to study and treat tuberculosis, a disease that is currently one of the most common and dangerous in the world.

Korovnikov was born in 1844 in the city of Kursk, where he received his medical education. After graduation, he worked as a doctor in various cities of Russia, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 1880, Korovnikov published his first work on tuberculosis, in which he described the symptoms and methods of treating this disease.

In 1901, Korovnikov was appointed chief physician of Moscow and began to actively work to combat tuberculosis. He developed new treatments that included the use of antibiotics and other drugs. Korovnikov also founded Russia's first clinic for the treatment of tuberculosis, which became a center of medical science and practice.

However, despite all the efforts of Korovnikov, tuberculosis remained one of the most serious problems in Russia until the beginning of the 20th century. Only after new methods of treatment and prevention were developed was it possible to significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality from this disease.

Ah, this wonderful, but sometimes merciless, cow disease! What has she not managed to experience in her 20 years of history! One of its main and brightest pages is the development of purulent-septic complications, known as postoperative infectious complications. Perhaps this is why cowshed disease is more common today
