Semmelweis noted that women who were delivered my midwives were much less likely to die of "child-bed" fever. Doctors who delivered babies also did autopsies and didn't wash or used antiseptic methods. His finding were dismissed by many and because of this many women died. All this occurred long before before the Germ Theory of Disease was first postulated.
he died of depression after being edmitted into a lunatic asylum at age 47 hope this helped
Semmelwise discovered childbirth fever. Semmelwise is known for his advocacy in handwashing.
It was Semmelweis who first introduces antiseptics to prevent disease. The first sterlization ( not complete) was given by Pasteur, known as pasteurization.
he observed how doctors in the 1840s went from patient to patient without washing their hands and therefore spreading disease. he was mostly looking at women in the maternity unit and he introduced washing your hands before surgery etc. unfortunately he was put in a mental asylum for early altzymers, in there he got beaten by staff and died from his injuries. hope i could help.
While Pasteur was not the first to propose germ theory (Girolamo Fracastoro, Agostino Bassi, Friedrich Henle and others had suggested it earlier), he developed it and conducted experiments that clearly indicated its correctness and managed to convince most of Europe it was true. Today he is often regarded as the father of germ theory and bacteriology, together with Robert Koch.
