Abraham Buschke

Abraham Buschke (September 27, 1868 - 1943) was a German dermatologist who was a native of Nakel in the Province of Posen. In 1891 he received his doctorate in Berlin, and afterwards was a surgical assistant in Greifswald. Later he worked at dermatological clinics in Breslau under Albert Neisser (1855-1916) and in Berlin with Edmund Lesser (1852-1918). In 1906 he became head of dermatology at the "Rudolf-Virchow-Krankenhaus". In 1943 he died in the Nazi concentration camp at Theresienstadt, Bohemia.

Abraham Buschke specialized in research of venereal disease. In 1926 with Martin Gumpert (1897-1955) he published a treatise on syphilis in children titled "Geschlechtskrankheiten bei Kindern". His name is associated with several eponymous dermatological disorders, including:
* "Buschke's scleredema": Hardening and thickening of the skin, usually on the upper back, neck, shoulders and face. Its etiology is unknown, but it is often associated with diabetes.
* "Buschke-Löwenstein tumor": Also known as giant condyloma acuminatum; a variety of venereal wart characterized by its large, cauliflower-like appearance. Named with Dr. Ludwig Loewenstein (1885-1959).
* "Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome": Also called disseminated lenticular dermatofibrosis. Named with dermatologist Helene Ollendorff Curth.

In 1894 with pathologist Otto Busse (1867-1922), Buschke described an infectious disease caused by the fungus "Cryptococcus neoformans". This condition is sometimes referred to as "Busse-Buschke disease".
