Volume 2" by R. Desgenettes is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book focuses on the medical history and challenges faced by the French army during its campaign in Egypt, reflecting on the diseases that plagued soldiers and the measures taken by medical personnel to address these health crises. The opening of the book introduces the context in which Desgenettes, the chief physician, addresses his fellow army doctors regarding their duties and the health challenges specific to the region. He emphasizes the importance of understanding local diseases, such as dysentery and endemic ophthalmia, which have been exacerbated by the climate and conditions of their surroundings. He outlines a structured plan for documenting their observations and treatments, suggesting a need for a systematic approach to combat the maladies affecting the troops and enhance overall military health management.
