Life

In 1865, Grancher, who began studying medicine in Paris in 1862, received his medical degree. He received his doctorate in medicine on February 6, 1873 in Paris and was director of a laboratory for pathological anatomy in Clamart from 1868 to 1878 . In 1885 he was appointed professor of pediatrics and from 1885 until his death in 1907 he was director of the Hôpital des Enfants Malades in Paris . He was also on the directorate of the Pasteur Institute .

Grancher is still known today for his tuberculosis research. He is considered a pioneer in the prevention of childhood tuberculosis and represented isolation and antisepsis in the fight against the disease. In 1897 he published the Traité des maladies de l'enfance with Jules Comby (1853–1947) and Antoine Marfan . Despite the new findings, the disease remained so widespread that “it was considered ubiquitous and therefore inevitable” and Grancher himself even considered it “necessary to eradicate the unfit for life”.

1885 Grancher and contributed Alfred Vulpian significant contribution that Louis Pasteur 's first successful vaccination against rabies on Joseph Meister undertook, a nine year old boy who was bitten by a rabid dog. In 1887, at Pasteur's request, Grancher defended the rabies vaccination before the Académie nationale de Médecine , citing the successful survival rate.
