چکیده

One of the most curious objections to the medical usage of the modern and scientific-sounding term "Hansen's disease" is that "Dr. Hansen did not have the disease". But the fact that neither Dr. Parkinson nor Dr. Bright were victims of "their" diseases is conveniently ignored. As it is ignored that Dr. Recklinghausen never had skin tumors and that no malignant mammary "Paget's disease" ever developed on Dr. James Paget himself. It was never reported that Dr. Chagas had Chagas, that Dr. Duhring's skin was covered with blisters, that Dr. Hodgkin had any serious problem with his lymphatic glands, that neither Dr. Schonlein nor Dr. Henoch ever suffered from any of the lesions of the Schonlein-Henoch syndrome, that Dr. Addison had a pigmented, dog-like oral mucosa, that Dr. Hutchinson's teeth were notched or that Dr. Hebra scratched himself night and day.
