Nathan Edwin Brill (January 3, 1860〔Some sources give January 13.〕– December 13, 1925) was an American physician who, while at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, discovered Brill-Zinsser disease (or, often, simply Brill's disease), a type of recurrent typhus.〔Lutwick L. Brill-Zinsser disease. ''The Lancet'', Volume 357, Issue 9263, Pages 1198-1200〕 == Biography == Brill was born in New York City and earned his medical degree at New York University College in 1880. He completed his internship at the Bellevue Hospital in 1881. In 1882 he was appointed physician at the Mount Sinai Hospital, later becoming professor at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Brill's medical accomplishments include: * The discovery of Brill-Zinsser disease, the recurrent mild typhus in immigrants from Eastern Europe; Brill determined the disease to be a latent infection after earlier contact with lice or ticks; * The coining (with Frederick S. Mandlebaum) of the term Gaucher's disease and Brill's recognition of it as a lipid storage disease;〔(Gaucher's Disease – An Underwriting Perspective, Journal of Insurance Medicine ) Retrieved on 2008-08-26〕 * Description of a form of lymphoma that became known as Brill-Symmers disease.〔(Brill-Symmers disease on whonamedit.com ) Retrieved 2008-08-27〕 * The translation of ''Clinical Diagnosis'' by Georg Klemperer in 1898. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nathan Edwin Brill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
