Henri-Alexandre Danlos

With Danish dermatologist Edvard Ehlers (1863-1937), the Ehlers–Danlos syndromes, which comprise a group of inherited connective-tissue disorders, are named for him.

[1] He studied medicine in Paris, and during the early part of his career, performed research in the laboratory of Charles-Adolphe Wurtz (1817-1884).

In 1881, he became médecin des hôpitaux, and four years later was chef de service at the Hôpital Tenon in Paris.

Danlos was pioneer in the use of radium for treatment of lupus erythematosus of the skin, and in 1901 with physicist Eugène Bloch (1878-1944), he was the first to apply radium on tuberculous skin lesions.
