August Paul von Wassermann was a German bacteriologist and hygienist.
Background
He was born on 21 February, 1866 in Bamberg, with Jewish origins, he studied at several universities throughout Germany, receiving his medical doctorate in 1888 from the University of Strassburg.
In 1890 began work under Robert Koch at the Institute for Infectious Diseases in Berlin.
In 1906 he became director of the division for experimental therapy and serum research at the institute, followed by a directorship of the department of experimental therapy at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft for the Advancement of Science in Berlin-Dahlem (1913).
Education
Wassermann received his secondary education in Bamberg and studied medicine at several German and Austrian universities.
He received his M. D. degree in 1888 at the University of Strasbourg.
In 1890, Wassermann began work at the Institute for Infectious Diseases in Berlin, which was directed by the famous bacteriologist Robert Koch.
Career
Wassermann discovered a blood serum test that enabled physicians to determine if a patient has syphilis, a potentially lethal disease which, in some persons, has a long latency period during which no symptoms are detectable. Wassermann was born in Bamberg, Germany to Dora (Bauer) and Angelo Wassermann, a banker.
The bacterium that causes syphilis, Treponema pallidum, can lay dormant in a person's body for many years, even a lifetime, without ever manifesting overt symptoms.
Therefore, people who are infected with the bacterium need to be identified, so they can be treated and do not spread the disease unintentionally.
In 1906, Wassermann and Albert Neisser developed a syphilis test for the blood serum of patients.
Serum is the pale yellow fluid that is one of the constituents of blood.
When a patient's blood serum with the syphilis antibody is introduced into a mixture of beef heart extract, animal blood serum, and washed red blood cells, the patient's antibody combines with parts of the mixture to create visible clumps of cells, which demonstrate the presence of the antibody and thus, the presence of the syphilis bacterium.
The Wassermann test is a useful, inexpensive screening procedure.
Wassermann continued to direct the department of experimental therapy up until his death.
