The pandemic "Spanish flu", that in a few weeks of the autumn 1918 caused in Italy a number of deaths between 350.000 and 600.000, was widely discussed by the scientific community, although very little of that debate leaked out, because of the military censorship. In the present article we comment on the original papers describing the hemorrhagic pneumonia, and on discussions about the ideas of the origin of the pandemic infection (Pfeiffer bacillus, vs streptococcus or other bacteria vs a "viral hypotesis") that occurred in Pathologica during and soon after that ominous pandemia.
1918年秋，“西班牙流感”疫情在短短几周内致使意大利35万至60万人死亡。尽管由于军事审查，科学界的相关讨论鲜少公开，但该疫情仍引发了广泛讨论。在本文中，我们将对描述出血性肺炎的原始论文，以及在那场不祥的大流行期间及之后不久发表于《病理学》杂志上的关于大流行感染起源观点（费佛氏杆菌、链球菌或其他细菌，还是“病毒假说”）的讨论进行评论。
