Hermann Doose (born September 9, 1927 in Lübeck ; † April 23, 2018 in Kronshagen ) was a German neuropaediatrician and epileptologist. He became internationally known for the Doose Syndrome he described .

Life

Doose studied medicine at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg . Following an assistant in the subjects of physiology and pathology , he was in Freiburg in 1951 with studies on agglutinins to Dr. med. PhD . He then completed training in pediatrics at the University of Kiel. When Hans-Rudolf Wiedemann habilitation he 1963. From 1975 to 1992 Doose Director of the Clinic for Pediatric Neurology in Kiel and at the same medical director was the opened on his initiative in 1972 the North German Epilepsy Center for Children and Adolescents in Raisdorf near Kiel. There he has headed an epilepsy research center since 1992.

Act

In addition to clinical syndromology, Doose's main focus was on the long-term course of patients with epilepsy and clinical genetics with the detection and description of genetic forms of epilepsy on the basis of extensive family examinations, including genetically determined variants in the electroencephalogram (EEG).

For the first time he described several forms of epilepsy in children and adolescents.

In addition to numerous magazine and book articles, Doose was also a (co-) author and (co-) editor of specialist books. His self-published textbook Epilepsies in Children and Adolescents , first published in 1967, was considered a standard work in German-speaking countries for many years . It was last reissued in 1998 and has been continued since 2012 by Bernd Neubauer and Andreas Hahn under the title Dooses Epilepsies in Children and Adolescents . In 1973 he was co-author of an epilepsy memorandum of the German Research Foundation and in the 1970s (co-) editor of several congress and conference reports. After co-editing a book on the genetics of epilepsies, the last work followed was an EEG textbook for children and adolescents, including an English-language edition.

Doose was u. a. 1976–1977 Chairman of the Society for Neuropediatrics and 1977–1979 Chairman of the German Section of the ILAE (since 2004: German Society for Epileptology ).
