Henrik Sjögren

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henrik Samuel Conrad Sjögren (/ˈʃoʊɡrən/; Swedish: [ɧœˈɡrɪən]^[1] July 23, 1899, Köping - September 17, 1986, Lund)^[2] was a Swedish ophthalmologist best known for the eponymous condition Sjögren's syndrome. Sjögren received his medical degree in Stockholm 1927 and in 1933 published a doctoral thesis at Karolinska Institutet titled "On knowledge of keratoconjunctivitis"^[3] that eventually served as the basis of Sjögren's syndrome. He had one child born in 1934 named Gunvor.

Henrik Sjögren should not be confused with his contemporary, Torsten Sjögren, for whom is named the Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (along with Tage Larsson).
