abstract = {The first cholera epidemic in Warsaw occurred during the November Uprising in April 1831. It was a disease unknown to Polish doctors. Answers to questions about etiology, properties (infectious – non-infectious) and effective methods of prevention and treatment were sought. The conditions of war and epidemics highlighted the organizational shortcomings of the health service and the shortage of doctors. Doctors from abroad came to the capital of the Kingdom of Poland to supplement the medical staff and learn about the unknown disease before it spreads to the entire European continent. The aim of the article is to present the methods of treating cholera in Warsaw during the first cholera epidemic and to emphasize its impact on the development of world medicine.},
