Albert Jesionek worked in Munich on the work of Joseph Doutrelepont and Niels Ryberg Finsen on light therapy for skin tuberculosis ( Lupus vulgaris ) and carried out light biological studies with Hermann von Tappeiner and Albert Jodlbauer . In 1904 he presented the first radiation lamp for skin diseases and, with his further investigations in Gießen, demonstrated the importance of light therapy for skin tuberculosis. In his first monographs Light Biology (1910) and Light Biology and Light Pathology (1912) he summarized these results. In 1913, the first German lupus sanctuary was opened in Giessen (the so-called "Dietzhaus"), which Albert Jesionek was in charge of until his death. He evaluated the experiences of Oskar Bernhard and Auguste Rollier with heliotherapy and in 1915 developed the "indoor radiation lamp", which was named after him "Jesionek lamp".

During the First World War , Albert Jesionek was a medical adviser in the 18th Army Corps and treated injuries and tetanus .

From 1920 he dealt with questions of immunity and with the pathogenesis of skin tuberculosis, the curative effects of tuberculins and the dietary treatment of skin tuberculosis. After a serious illness, he published his research results in 1929 in his book Tuberculosis and Skin, which he described as his life's work.

Albert Jesionek's pupils were Sigwald Bommer (1893–1963), Walther Schultze (1893–1970), Stephen Rothman (1894–1963) and Wilhelm Engelhardt (1895–1977).

Awards and honors

Albert Jesionek was an honorary member of the Vienna Dermatological Society, the Danish Dermatological Society and the Hungarian Dermatological Society. In 1933 he was awarded the Bollinger plaque and became an honorary member of the Munich Medical Society.

After the death of Albert Jesionek, the Lupus sanatorium in Gießen was named "Albert Jesionek Hospital". In 1973 it was merged with the “Heilstätte Seltersberg” to form the “Klinik Seltersberg”.
