Life
Josef Kyrle studied at the University of Graz , where he completed his doctorate in 1904. During his studies he became a member of the Ostmark Graz fraternity in 1903 . Then he went to Vienna to study with Anton Weichselbaum at the Pathological-Anatomical Institute of the University of Vienna . In 1906 he moved to the University Clinic for Dermatology and Syphilis in the General Hospital under Ernest Finger (1856-1939).

In 1932 Josef-Kyrle-Gasse in Vienna- Hietzing was named after him.
power
Kyrle's most important scientific achievement lies in his collaboration with Julius Wagner-Jauregg . He had the idea for the therapeutic production of fever in syphilis patients by malaria pathogens. Wagner-Jauregg and Kyrle tested their method on thousands of patients, with Kyrle examining their cerebrospinal fluid . Due to the early death of Kyrle, he could no longer see how Wagner-Jauregg received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1927 for this joint research.
In 1916 he described Kyrle's disease, named after him (idiopathic perforating dermatosis, hyperkeratosis follicularis et parafollicularis in cutem penetrans ). Kyrle also researched the Langerhans Islands with Anton Weichselbaum .
