Abstract
La epidemia de gripe que azotó al mundo
golpeó a Huelva en tres oleadas, que se han
analizado a lo largo de este estudio, siendo
la que se desarrolló en octubre de 1918 la de
mayor virulencia, dejando una cifra de muertos
en el país que solo sería superada por la Guerra
Civil. Este trabajo pretende estudiar el curso de
la epidemia de gripe de 1918-19 en la ciudad de
Huelva. Se ha realizado un profundo análisis de
documentación tanto de fuentes hemerográficas
como archivísticas. Se ha hecho una lectura de
todas aquellas noticias referentes a la gripe en el
diario La Provincia, y a la vez se ha procedido a
la consulta y análisis de documentos del Archivo
Histórico Municipal de Huelva. Por otra parte,

y cómo llevó a la implantación de cambios
tanto en los servicios de beneficencia como de
sanidad. Como conclusión general se puede
