Between the years 1889 and 1893 according to Leichtenstern there was no
period altogether free from influenza. Here and there individual cases
or small epidemics sharply localized were observed. In 1893 another
epidemic appeared in many places and became quite widespread. There was
not, according to this author, the definite geographic progression that
had been observed in 1889. This was but a recrudescence, a lighting up
from endemic foci remaining after the first wide spread. In the first
half of 1893 there was a light spring epidemic, and in November of the
same year a larger epidemic swept over the whole of Europe. The height
of the latter was reached chiefly in December.
The influenza incidence subsequent to 1893 will be discussed later.
