Georg Cornet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Cornet (born July 27, 1858 in Eichstätt , † March 26, 1915 in Berlin ) was a German doctor and pioneer of tuberculosis research . He wrote the quote: "The fight against tuberculosis through the sanatoriums is no more worthwhile than trying to remedy a famine with caviar and oysters instead of bread and bacon."

Life

Georg Cornet began studying medicine at the University of Munich in 1879 after graduating from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich . In 1880 he became a member of the Corps Bavaria . His academic teachers included Carl von Voit , Nikolaus Rüdinger , Hugo von Ziemssen and Max von Pettenkofer . In 1883 he became co-assistant in the dermatological clinic of Posselt and in 1883 in the medical clinic of Ziemssen. After graduating, he trained two winters at Italian and French health resorts.

In the spring of 1885 he took up an assistant position at Hermann Brehmer's institution for lung patients in Görbersdorf . A year later, in 1886, he moved to Berlin to the hygienic institute of the University of Berlin under Robert Koch , where he practiced in Bad Reichenhall during the summer months , while he spent the rest of the year in Berlin to carry out his scientific work. In 1891 he moved with Robert Koch to the newly founded Prussian Institute for Infectious Diseases .

In his scientific work he dealt mainly with the research of tuberculosis in bacteriological , clinical , statistical and prophylactic terms. He was the first to succeed in detecting tubercle bacilli outside the body. These investigations resulted in the limited distribution of the same (non-ubiquity), from which he derived precisely specified prophylactic measures and demanded to combat them. His proposals first became the basis for state prophylactic measures in Prussia and later in other countries as well.

Georg Cornet died in Berlin in 1915 of typhus , which he contracted while serving in the army during the First World War .
