Carl Ferdinand Eichstedt
Carl Ferdinand Eichstedt , also Karl Ferdinand Eichstedt (born September 17, 1816 in Greifswald , † December 31, 1892 ibid) was a German gynecologist and dermatologist. In 1846 he discovered the fungus pathogen Pityriasis versicolor .
Life
Eichstedt's father was Johann Philipp Eichstedt , district court director and lawyer at the University of Greifswald. He attended the Greifswald grammar school . After graduating from high school, he studied at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin from 1835 . After preliminary examination philosophical (Physikum) in Berlin, he was in 1839 at the Royal University of Greifswald to Dr. med. PhD. At first he worked in his hometown for the surgeon Baum as a clinical assistant. In 1846 he completed his habilitation. On the day of the habilitation, Eichstedt gave the Latin sample lecture. In the German trial lecture six months later, he emphasized the importance of the microscope for the detection of diseases. In 1846, his publication Fungi formation in the Pityriasis versicolor appeared - also in the New Notes from the Field of Natural Science and Medicine . For Walther Schönfeld , Eichstedt was one of the immortals in the "dermatological literature". Another piece of work was requested, which Eichstedt delivered without any problems: About the children's diarrhea . He was then appointed associate professor . When his sponsor Friedrich August Gottlob Berndt died in 1854, a chair for obstetrics was established. Eichstedt only received him as a substitute. At that time he wrote about procreation, the mechanism of childbirth and some other obstetric matters according to his own views (1859). He gave lectures on theoretical obstetrics, obstetrical outpatient clinic, gynecological diseases, childhood diseases, practical obstetrics on the phantom and on skin diseases and syphilis . When another candidate was preferred to fill the professorship, Eichstedt was so offended that he severed his ties to the university and devoted himself to his private practice. Despite the vote of the faculty, the minister immediately approved this. As the Greifswalder Original known under the name "Eicking", Eichstedt was a friend of the Rotspon . "Good doctor, often unfortunately - hey süppt 'n pray."
