Indagar en las producciones del Departamento Nacional de Higiene y su par de Trabajo, permitirá dilucidar el camino trazado por la disciplina del derecho para erigirse como espacio decisorio a la hora de dirimir sobre las enfermedades profesionales, aún a expensas de otros campos profesionales como el médico que, per se, contaba con saberes peculiares de su disciplina.
