[Disease panorama among the " Donald Ducks"].
Disease is a rather rare phenomenon among Donald Duck, his relatives, friends and enemies. However, an unsystematic review of the literature shows that a number of symptoms, signs and injuries have been reported over the 60 years during which these figures have amused the world. The behavioural sciences have obviously a lot to learn from these publications. Persons with an exaggerated interest in health promotion may enjoy the success of anti-smoking campaigns; even the crooks have quit smoking, while sexologists are better advised to read their own literature.
