  August von Wassermann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
August Paul von Wassermann (21 February 1866 - 16 March 1925) was a German bacteriologist.
Born in Bamberg, he studied at several prestigious universities throughout Germany, and in 1890 began to work under Robert Koch at the Institute for Infectious Diseases at the Charité in Berlin.
The Wassermann test remains a staple of syphilis detection and prevention in some areas, although it has often been replaced by more modern alternatives.

 Albert Ludwig Sigesmund Neisser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this school, he was a contemporary of another great name in the history of medicine, Paul Ehrlich.
In the years 1905 and 1906 Neisser travelled to Java, in order to study the possible transmission of syphilis from apes to humans.
He later cooperated with August Paul von Wassermann (1866-1925) to develop the famous diagnostic test for detecting Treponema pallidum infections, and also in the testing of the first chemotherapeutic agent for syphilis, Salvarsan, which was discovered by his former school fellow Paul Ehrlich in 1910.

 Wassermann's reaction (www.whonamedit.com)
Several negative Wassermann reactions a few years after treatment indicate the absence of syphilis.
Wassermann described his test one year after Fritz Richard Schaudinn (1871-1906) and Paul Erich Hoffmann's (1868-1959) discovered the causative organism of syphilis.
Many modifications have since been made of this test, such as the Kahn, Kolmer, etc, but the general principled applied by Wassermann continue to guide the procedures.

Not until the beginning of this century was lues generally accepted as the definitive causes of the different manifestations from the nervous system, following the discovery by Schaudinn and Hoffmann of the treponema pallidium in 1905 and August Paul von Wassermann’s (1866-1925) serologic test in 1906.
In this he was following on the work of his father who had been a lecturer in surgery at Edinburgh in the extra-mural school and had confined himself chiefly to ophthalmic surgery.
During the 1850s, the invention of the ophthalmoscope by Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821-1894) in 1851, and the new operations such as iridectomy introduced by von Graefe in 1856 ensured that ophthalmology developed into a specialty of its own right.

Treponema pallidum was identified in 1905; in 1906 von Wassermann discovered the serologic reaction that permitted accurate diagnosis; and, in 1909 Paul Ehrilich produced the arsenic compound "Salvarsan 606".
Salvarsan 606 became the "Magic Bullet" that became the mainstay of treatment for syphilis until the advent of penicillin in the 1940's.
