【 摘 要 】

This contribution offers an introduction to the Dossier on the 1918-19 influenza pandemic, the most serious epidemic crisis on record in Portuguese history. The dossier provides a detailed synthesis of the available knowledge in the field, explores new data and points out some of the open questions regarding a historic event that caused dramatic effects on a global scale. The publication of this dossier is justified not only by the topic’s relevance or by the celebration of its centennial, but also because one hundred years of research have not been enough to provide definite answers to a number of questions related to the subject.
