  • Title: [Dermato-venereology as a special subject in medical education in Sweden. A historical review].
    Author: Thyresson N.
    Journal: Nord Medicinhist Arsb; 1995; ():149-61. PubMed ID: 11624760.
    Abstract:
    In 1861 a professorship in syphilology was founded at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. However, unlike the conditions in Denmark, Finland and Norway, a combined chair in dermatology and syphilology was not established until in 1927. The main reason for this delay was that, according to the laws applicable to the hospitals of Sweden, patients with venereal diseases could be treated solely in special hospitals ("kurhus"). Only in 1901, when these laws were changed, it was possible to establish departments for both skin and venereal diseases. The article is a survey of the development of dermato-venereology as a subject in medical education in Sweden until our time.
