How did Ignaz Semmelweis change the way you look at disease?

Semmelweis noticed that the death rates in mothers during pregnancy was unusually high. He noticed that the doctors in his hospital were going straight from examining diseased dead bodies in the morgue to delivering babies, and thought that perhaps this meant that they were transferring disease from the corpses to the mothers. He suggested that all doctors thoroughly wash their hands between patients, and almost immediately the death rate fell. This was the first time that the idea of infectious disease (passing disease via a pathogenic medium, i.e. bacteria and viruses) was considered. before this, contracting diseases was put down to chance.

What did ignaz semmelweis discover?

Semmelweis did not find a cure for puerperal fever, but he did draw a link between the fever and one of its major causes. He recognised that medical students in the Vienna Maternity Hospital were going to assist with child birth directly from the autopsy/dissecting room without washing their hands. He introduced handwashing to try to combat this problem. He did this in 1847, before anyone was aware of the true causes of infections, so it was generally ridiculed by other members of the medical profession. The drastic reduction in maternal death resulting from the introdution of his handwashing protocol was profound.
