The Study deals with a rather unknown activity of so-called observation stations of the sick (medical observation stations) in the period of the World War I. It was a kind of an interlink between medical centres behind the front line and hospitals in the hinterland, the main mission of which was to prevent spreading the infectious diseases. There was the total number of 14 such stations and 7 of them were dislocated in the territory of Slovakia. The author describes their activity to 1916 when 2 of them were changed to so-called specialised institutions. He brings several data on in-patients, data on treatment methods, personal issues, functioning and structure of these stations, as well as data on military doctors working in these institutes. He analyses their activity in details, especially in Lučenec and Trenčín from the arrival of first transports from the front to the end of treatment or quarantine.
