Scientific achievements
Monti was instrumental in founding hospices for scrofulous and rachitic children. For about 20 years he was the director of the Vienna Association that built the Maria Theresa Lake Hospice in San Pelagio (near Rovigno ) and the Kaiser Franz Joseph Children's Hospice in Salzbach (near Bad Ischl ). His numerous scientific works deal with almost all pathological disorders during childhood. The introduction of the initially controversial diphtheria serum treatment in Austria is largely thanks to his initiative.
