| Theodor Escherich (www.whonamedit.com) (912 words) |
 | Theodor Escherich was a pioneer paediatrician who devoted his efforts to improving child care, particularly infant hygiene and nutrition. |
| Escherich was soon convinced that bacteriology could solve or illuminate many paediatric problems, and at Munich the circumstances were favourable for this approach. |
| In 1890 Escherich succeeded Rudolf von Jaksch (1855-1947) as professor extraordinary of paediatrics and director of the childrens clinic in Graz, where he was promoted to professor ordinary four years later. |
