Aladár Aujeszky belongs to the medical record as a figure whose work changed what could be treated.
The record lists Aladár Aujeszky as Hungarian pathologist.
Aladár Aujeszky was born at Pest in 1869. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He trained at Eötvös Loránd University.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
The recorded fields of work are medicine, bacteriology and microbiology.
Medicine advances against a moving target, and its successes are counted in lives rather than papers.
That the work was done from Hungary matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Aladár Aujeszky died in 1933, aged 64. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
