英语词汇“variolation”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

Variolation was the original way that doctors immunized people against smallpox. The process of variolation involved infecting a healthy person with tissue or fluid of a person with smallpox.

Variolation required the healthy patient to have tissue from a person with active smallpox (or who had recovered from smallpox) inserted into scratches on the skin. When variolation was "successful," the patient had a very mild case of smallpox, a disease which was often deadly. Ultimately, this method was found to be ineffective, and it was replaced in the late 1700s by the smallpox vaccine. Variolation comes from variola, "smallpox," and the Latin varius, "changing" or "spotted."
