Les statistiques des dispensaires antituberculeux et des hôpitaux au service de l'histoire sociale et de l'épidémiologie de la "peste blanche"

During the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, struggle against tuberculosis is a strong reason to redefine health as social gaming, and not as individual gaming anymore. The number of actors increases on the market of medical care, involving some tensions. This paper compares (by the mean of death causes statistics) people affected and treated in a local hospital, and those teated in the antitubercular health centres from the province of Liège. It studies the respective contribution of hospital records and statistics list of health centres to the historical epidemiology of the "white plague" and to social history of health.
