André Chantemesse

Né au Puy en Haute-Loire, cet élève de Louis Pasteur fut aussi le médecin qui assista le grand savant dans ses dernières heures. Ce n'est qu'à l'âge de 25 ans qu'il décida brusquement de commencer des études de médecine.
En 1884, il soutint sa thèse de doctorat sur «L'étude sur la méningite tuberculeuse de l'adulte : les formes anormales en particulier ». L'année suivante, il partit se perfectionner à Berlin dans le laboratoire bactériologique de Robert Koch qui venait d'isoler, en 1882, le bacille de la tuberculose appelé plus tard à porter son nom.

André Chantemesse

Born in the Puy in Haute-Loire, this student of Louis Pasteur was also the doctor who assisted the great scientist in his last hours. It was not until he was 25 that he suddenly decided to start studying medicine.
In 1884, he defended his doctoral thesis on «The study of tubercular meningitis in adults: abnormal forms in particular». The following year, he went to Berlin to improve his knowledge in the bacteriological laboratory of Robert Koch, who had just isolated the tuberculosis bacillus later named after him in 1882.
In 1886, he began work on what would become his main battle-horse: typhoid fever. He was able to see in 1887 that the outbreaks of typhoid fever coincided with the distribution of water from the Seine in Paris, then in 1896 the «typhogenic» role of certain oysters and also, in 1902, the role of latent bacilli carriers.
In 1888, he developed the first method of serotherapy against typhoid - the Chantemesse serum - in collaboration with Fernand Widal. In 1890, he began to treat Louis Pasteur and will assist him until his last breath. In 1897, he was appointed professor of experimental and comparative pathology at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris. Elected member of the Academy of Medicine in 1901, he created and directed from 1906 a monthly magazine «General and applied hygiene». André Chantemesse died on 25 February 1919 of the Spanish flu
