2 unusual facts about Pieter Klazes Pel


Pieter Klazes Pel

Pel is perhaps best known for his description in 1885 of Pel-Ebstein fever, a cyclical fever that occurs very rarely in individuals who have Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Pel shared the opinion of Sir William Osler, a contemporary of his, that the way to teach and train new physicians is at the bedsides of patients, rather than at a desk listening to lectures.
