The Contribution of Hermann Pinkus to Dermatology

Overview

These articles represent a small cross section of Dr. Hermann Pinkus’ work. They include many of the papers which he considered important contributions to dermatology. In them we can see the beginnings of concepts, which continue to be discussed in dermatology today and often represent fundamental knowledge in the study of dermatology. By presenting them it is hoped that the reader not only gains an appreciation for one man’s work, but in a broader sense, gains an appreciation for the work of many of the pioneers in dermatology, which can only be gained by reviewing their original articles.
