    Abstract:
    The discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Robert Koch in March 1882 was immediately reported by the medical press, including that of Switzerland. Among the clinicians most active in introducing the new views and techniques to Swiss medical practitioners was Ludwig Lichtheim (1845-1928), professor of internal medicine in Berne (1879-1888), who had been acquainted with Koch since their time in Breslau. Lichtheim's successful efforts are illustrated by quotations from his (unpublished) memoirs.
