Topographical distribution of Balkan endemic nephropathy in Serbia (Yugoslavia)
Abstract:
Topographical characteristics of 91 settlements affected by endemic nephropathy in Serbia--the region most frequently attacked by the disease--were analyzed and compared with the other known endemic areas in Yugoslavia. Numerical data were provided on the common characteristics of the affected villages--vicinity of a Danube tributary and low altitude. It was pointed out that only two endemic settlements lie above the altitude of 300 m. It is therefore suggested that investigation of the hydrogeological structure of these villages may provide valuable data, if an agent in water or soil is searched for.
