Jean Alfred Fournier (1908)

Jean Alfred Fournier (born May 12, 1832 in Paris ; † December 23 or 25, 1914 there ) was a French dermatologist and venereologist .

Live and act

Jean Alfred Fournier was born into a family with a medical background. As a schoolboy he attended the Jauffret institution and the Lycée Charlemagne in Paris and successfully took part in the Concours général . In December 1854 he began his medical studies and was in 1860 a doctorate . During his studies, Fournier worked as an intern with Philippe Ricord (1800–1889) at the Hôpital du Midi . In 1863 he became médecine des hôpitaux and from 1867 worked with Augustin Grisolle (1811–1869) at the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris . In 1868 he became chief physician at the Hôpital de Lourcine, before moving to the Hôpital Saint-Louis in 1876 , where he was appointed professor in 1880 as the first professor for skin diseases and syphilis, which he held until 1902.

His most important contribution to medical science was studies of congenital syphilis , which he described in 1883. In numerous publications he pointed out the importance of syphilis as a cause of degenerative diseases. He also founded the Société Française de Prophylaxie Sanitaire et Morale in 1901 .

In addition to his research on venereal and dermatological diseases, Fournier was also a medical historian who translated the work of earlier doctors, such as Girolamo Fracastoro (1478–1553), Giovanni de Vigo (1460–1525) and Jacques de Béthencourt , into French.
