	Clemens von Pirquet Summary
		Pirquet noticed in 1906 that some of the young patients he treated for diphtheria—with an antitoxin based on a horse serum—developed symptoms not related to the original disease.
		Clemens Peter Freiherr von Pirquet (May 121874–February 281929) was an Austrian scientist and pediatrician best known for his contributions to the fields of bacteriology and immunology.
		Mantoux expanded upon Pirquet's ideas and the Mantoux test, in which tuberculin is injected under the skin, became a diagnostic test for tuberculosis in 1907.

	Allergy
		An allergy is an immune system response to something which is not directly dangerous to the body.
		The term was coined by Viennese paediatrician Baron Clemens von Pirquet[?] in 1906, from the Greek words allos meaning changed or altered state and ergon meaning reaction or reactivity.
		He observed the exaggerated immune responses of some of his patients, and concluded that they were a response to outside allergens such as dust, pollen, or certain foods.

	In brief -DAWN - Books and Authors; October 29, 2006
		The term “allergy” was coined 100 years ago by an Austrian paediatrician, Clemens von Pirquet, who used it to describe “any form of altered biological reactivity.” By this he meant both “the generation of immunity against disease” and “a state of so-called hypersensitivity or super sensitivity” resulting in tissue damage.
		However, this elegant theory, which arose from clinical observations of children’s reactions to vaccination, didn’t impress his scientific colleagues and the unhappy Von Pirquet committed suicide with his wife in 1929, just before his idea became influential.
		In his “global history of allergy”, Mark Jackson revives Von Pirquet’s contributions to medicine, as well as telling the story of allergies in general.

		ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, an Austrian doctor named Clemens von Pirquet coined the term "allergy" to describe how the human body, once exposed to a foreign substance, could inexplicably develop a heightened, occasionally fatal, sensitivity to it.
		Allergies were already being blamed on modern living decades before von Pirquet coined the term.
		The American physician George Beard wrote in 1876 that hay fever was "essentially a neurosis" generated by the shocks of modern life.
