Typhoid fever
Curschmann is remembered for the 1894 publication of ""Klinische Abbildungen" (Clinical Illustrations), a collection of photos involving changes to the outer human form caused by internal disease. "Klinische Abbildungen" is considered to be a major pioneer work in medical photography. His treatise "Der Unterleibstyphus and Das Fleckenfieber"", was later translated into English and published as "Typhoid fever and typhus fever" (1901).
