André Strohl
André Strohl (20 March 1887 – 10 March 1977) was a French
neurologists; Georges Guillain and Jean Alexandre Barré
.
In 1916, during
paresthesias,[1] had an unexpected amount of spinal fluid protein production.[2] Strohl is credited with performing the electrophysiological tests on the soldiers. Eventually, the two patients were able to recover from their illness. In 1916, Guillain, Barré and Strohl reported their findings in a medical journal. In 1927, H. Draganesco and J. Claudion coined the term "Guillain–Barré syndrome", apparently overlooking Strohl's contributions.[1]
In 1924 Strohl became a professor of physiological medicine in Algiers, and two years later acquired the same position at the University of Paris. He retired from there in 1957. He was also a member of the Académie Nationale de Médecine.
