"Day We Discovered
Cause of 'White
Death'"
by Dr. Howard Markel
Like many young physicians of this era, Koch was
struck by an intense fascination with all things
microscopic, a fixation some medical critics derided as
“bacteriomania.” Unlike his senior colleagues who
ascribed epidemics to the contamination of the air with
foul or unpleasant emanations, a notion referred to as
the miasmatic theory, Dr. Koch sided with those who
would become the scientific revolutionaries of their day
by asserting and ultimately proving that specific
microbes were the cause of specific infectious
diseases.
