Otto Bollinger

Otto Bollinger

Otto Bollinger (2 April 1843 – 13 August 1909) was a German pathologist born in Altenkirchen, Kusel, Rhineland-Palatinate.

In 1868, he obtained his doctorate at Berlin, receiving his habilitation two years later. Afterwards he taught classes at the Tierärtzliche Hochschule in Zürich, and in 1880 succeeded Ludwig von Buhl (1816-1880) as professor of general pathology and pathological anatomy at the University of Munich.[1]

In 1891, Bollinger provided an early description of a delayed traumatic apoplexy he called traumatische Spät-Apoplexie. Today this condition is called delayed traumatic intracerebral hematoma or (DTICH). His research was based on four patients who suffered a head injury, in which death occurred days to weeks later from an apoplectic event.

Bollinger had an extensive background in veterinary medicine, and was known for his studies of rabies and hydrophobia in the days before the discovery of an anti-rabies vaccine. In 1877, he described the etiologic agent of bovine actinomycosis ("lumpy jaw"), which was soon afterwards called actinomyces bovis.[2]

Bollinger is credited with describing the inclusion bodies found in tissue cells in fowlpox. These bodies contain the fowlpox virus, and are now referred to as "Bollinger bodies". Another eponymous term named after him are "Bollinger granules", which are small yellowish-white granules that cluster, contain micrococci, and are seen in the granulation tissue of botryomycosis.
