Bamberger was a specialist in
polyserositis.[2][3][4] The eponymous "Bamberger's disease" is named after him, characterized by spasmodic affections of the leg muscles.[5]
In 1857 he published Lehrbuch der Krankheiten des Herzens (Handbook of diseases of the heart), one of the first textbooks dedicated to cardiac pathology. Another of his publications of note was Die Krankheiten des chylopoetischen Systems (On the diseases of the chylopoietic system, 1855).
