Such an effort respond to the political project of a group of physicians, who tried to give an answer to the social problems from the hygiene field and seize the bureaucratic structure of the state in their role of experts. Additionally, it inquires into the specialization process of the disciplines responsible for the treatment of the venereal diseases and their consequent recognition as medical specialties.
