In 1877 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Breslau , where he was a student of Michael Anton Biermer 1827 1892 . Later he was a professor at Jena 1886 and Dorpat 1888 , where he resigned in 1892 for political reasons, and became director of the city hospital at Magdeburg Sudenburg. Heinrich Unverricht is remembered for his research of epilepsy , especially his work with progressive myoclonic epilepsy PME . In 1891 he described a form of PME that was later called Unverricht Lundborg disease Unverricht s disease . With pathologist Ernst Leberecht Wagner 1829 1888 , the eponymous Wagner Unverricht syndrome is named, which is a muscle disease similar to polymyositis .

Ernst Leberecht Wagner 12 March 1829 10 February 1888 was a German pathologist who was a native of Dehlitz , a town in the Burgenlandkreis district of Saxony Anhalt . He studied medicine in Leipzig under Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich Karl August Wunderlich 1815 1877 , in Prague under Josef Skoda 1805 1881 and in Vienna under Karl von Rokitansky 1804 1878 . In 1855 he received his habilitation at the University of Leipzig , where in 1862 he became an associate professor. In 1869 Wagner became a full professor of general pathology and pathological anatomy at the University of Leipzig, and in 1871 founded the first institute of pathology at Leipzig. From 1877 until 1888 he was a professor of pathology and special therapy internal medicine at Leipzig. Wagner was considered an excellent teacher, and two of his better known assistants were Adolph Str mpell Adolf von Str mpell 1853 1925 and Paul Flechsig 1847 1929 . His best known written work was a textbook on pathology called Handbuch der allgemeinen Pathologie , which was co authored with Johann Paul Uhle 1827 1861 , and published in seven editions and translated into several languages. Wagner made contributions in his research of uterine cancer and embolism s associated with blood vessels of the lung . With Heinrich Unverricht 1853 1912 , the eponymous Wagner Unverricht syndrome is named, which is a muscle disease related to polymyositis , characterized by chronic muscle inflammation resulting in muscle weakness and skin rash .
