Eduard Heinrich Henoch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Heinrich Henoch (June 16, 1820, Berlin - August 26, 1910) was a German physician. He taught at the Berlin University (1868-1894).

After taking the degree of M.D. at Berlin (1843), he began to practise as a specialist in diseases of children. Until 1850 he was assistant at the children's dispensary of the university. In that year he became privat-docent; in 1858, assistant professor. In 1872 Henoch became director of the hospital and dispensary of the department of pediatrics at the Charité. In 1893 he resigned that position, received the title of "Medicinalrath", and lived in retirement at Merano until 1898, when he removed to Dresden.
