Early life and education

Bullowa was born in New York City on October 19, 1879 to Moritz and Mary (née Grunhut) Bullowa. He graduated from the College of the City of New York (now part of [The City University of New York ]) in 1899 and then received his MD from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1903.[2] Bullowa was married on September 24, 1907 to Sadie Nones, with whom he had five children.[2]

Career

In the late 1920s, he was appointed a clinical professor of

Harlem Hospital with Milton Rosenblüth, where he also worked with William Hallock Park.[2][3] He later consulted at several other New York hospitals.[2] He was a member of the American Trudeau Society and the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, and a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine.[2]

He conducted a controlled trial of

sulfa therapy, serum therapy, and combined therapy in 1939, but despite the results favoring sulfa monotherapy he made post-hoc arguments for the benefit of his serum treatment in sub-stratified patient groups.[3]
