Jaroslav Hlava

He was rector of Prague's General Hospital and director of the Czech Institute of Pathological Anatomy.

He was a pioneer in bacteriology and studied the etiology of infectious diseases and oncology.

In 1887, Hlava authored a widely cited article entitled About Dysentery.

Due to a translation error, the article was attributed to O. Uplavici in English publications until 1938.

[2] The name of author was written in small characters, and the translator mistook O ÚPLAVICI (About dysentery in Czech) for the name of the author and PŘEDBĚŽNÁ ZPRÁVA (preliminary report) for About Dysentery.
