Carl Schirren (medic, 1861)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Schirren (* 1861 ; † 1921 in Kiel ) was a German dermatologist .

Carl Schirren was born as the son of the Baltic German historian Carl Schirren . He was the first resident dermatologist in Schleswig-Holstein . He opened his practice in Kiel on October 1, 1890. In 1903 he created a "report on venereal diseases in Kiel and the surrounding area for the years 1901–1903" on behalf of the Kiel Medical Association . In it, Schirren stated that the complications that occur with gonorrhea are "primarily a consequence of excessive local treatment". The epididymitis occurring with the disease with the resulting sterility of the man due to obstruction of azoospermia was thus caused by the attending physician.
