Denis Jourdanet's (1815-1892) observational work in remote areas of Latin America and Asia proved that altitude sickness is due to anoxaemia. Jourdanet worked closely together with Paul Bert (1833-1886), the former doing all the observational work and the latter the laboratory work on altitude physiology. - Garrison/Morton 943.1. MEDIZIN ;
