Q:What type of details about ignaz semmelweis can be gathered from the following bio? Bio: ignaz philipp semmelweis -lrb- born '' semmelweis ignac fulop '' ; 1 july 1818 -- 13 august 1865 -rrb- was a hungarian physician of german extraction now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures . described as the '' savior of mothers '' , semmelweis discovered that the incidence of puerperal fever -lrb- also known as '' childbed fever '' -rrb- could be drastically cut by the use of hand disinfection in obstetrical clinics . puerperal fever was common in mid-19th-century hospitals and often fatal , with mortality at 10 % -- 35 % . semmelweis proposed the practice of washing hands with chlorinated lime solutions in 1847 while working in vienna general hospital 's first obstetrical clinic , where doctors ' wards had three times the mortality of midwives ' wards . he published a book of his findings in '' etiology , concept and prophylaxis of childbed fever '' . despite various publications of results where hand washing reduced mortality to below 1 % , semmelweis 's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community . some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and semmelweis could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings . semmelweis 's practice earned widespread acceptance only years after his death , when louis pasteur confirmed the germ theory and joseph lister , acting on the french microbiologist 's research , practiced and operated , using hygienic methods , with great success . in 1865 , semmelweis was committed to an asylum , where he died at age 47 of pyaemia , after being beaten by the guards , only 14 days after he was committed .
