Summary
Cite this article: Khalid Al Aboud, Ahmad Al Aboud: Eponyms in the dermatology literature linked to Germany. Germany has been the home of many influential philosophers, scientists and inventors, and is known for its rich cultural and political history. There are many old and new eponyms in dermatology, which originated from Germany. One may find several dermatological conditions attached eponymously, to a single scientist from Germany [2]. Theresa Kindler to whom Kindler syndrome was named, after her original British Journal of Dermatology publication in 1954, was a German paediatrician who spent time working in the UK.
