| description | To commemorate the 120 years of its writing, the text that appeared in 1898 in the
number 25 of the Revista Gaceta Medica, the first scientific publication that had the
city of Cartagena, Colombia, is reproduced. It presents in detail the clinical evolution
of an infectious process in the hand of a woman after a wound in the thumb. The text
allows To observe that the liquid phenol was used and the concepts about it already
existed. Three decades before, Joseph Lister had demonstrated the advantages of the
use of phenol to disinfect set of instruments, to wash wounds and incisions and was
indicating that it was allowing to decrease the mortality for infections. It is observed
by the depth of the comments and the analysis of the evolution of the injury, that the
author of the text had appropriated suitably of himself knowledges of very recently
indication and he identified aspects relating with the streptococcus. The author of the
text treated his patient when worldwide scarcely initiated the bacteriological age, still
several years were absent for the antimicrobial one and many decades for the advent
of the antibiotics.Rev.Cienc.Biomed. 2014;5(1):171-179
