Salgın hastalıklar, tarih boyunca insanlığın en çok etkilendiği felaketlerden biri olmuştur. Tarihin çeşitli dönemlerinde, dünyanın pek çok yerinde ortaya çıkmışolan bu hastalıklar, binlerce insanın ölmesine sebebiyet vermiştir. Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Osmanlı Devleti’nde de salgın hastalıkların yıkıcı etkisine maruz kalınmıştır. Nitekim bu hastalıklardan biri tanesi de koleradır. Osmanlıtopraklarında ilk kez 1822’de görülen kolera salgını ticari münasebetler, göçler, savaşlar ve hac yoluyla yayılma imkânı bulmuştur. Dolayısıyla XIX. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinden itibaren küresel bir tehdit halini alan kolera, Osmanlı gündelik hayatınıuzun süre olumsuz yönde etkileyen hastalıklardan biri olmuştur. Anadolu’nun birçok yöresinde ortaya çıkan kolera hastalığı, farklı dönemlerde İzmir ve çevresinde de etkili olmuştur. Nitekim 1893 yılı ortalarında İzmir’de etkili olan hastalık, özellikle Ağustos ayı itibariyle salgın halini alıp ciddi boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Aynı yılın Kasım ayına kadar salgına maruz kalanlardan önemli bir kısmı hayatını kaybetmiştir. Osmanlı Hükümeti, hastalığın yayılmasını engellemek için öncelikle birtakım karantina önlemleri almıştır. Daha sonra uzman doktorlar getirtilmiş ve gündelik hayatla ilgili birtakım tedbirler alınmıştır. Fakat İzmir’de zuhur eden hastalık, alınan her türlü tedbire rağmen çevre şehir ve kasabalardan bazılarına da sirayet etmiş ve birkaçında ciddi tahribat yapmıştır. Kısacasıİzmir ve çevresinde önemli sosyo-ekonomik etkileri olmuştur. Neticede bu çalışmada, 1893 yılında İzmir ve çevresinde etkili olan koleranın gelişimi ve etkileri, devletin aldığı tedbirler ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bunu yaparken de, Osmanlı arşiv vesikaları esas alınmakla birlikte, İzmir ve İstanbul basınında salgına dair çıkan haberlere de yer verilmiştir.
