Abstract: Dr. Menahem Hodara was one of the most remarkable dermatologists of the early 20th century, who achieved international acclaim for his dermatopathological studies. Following his graduation from the Ottoman Imperial Military Medical School in Istanbul in 1890, M. Hodara was appointed to the Central Marine Hospital in Istanbul as a navy lieutenant. Between 1893 and 1897, he studied at the Unna Clinic in Hamburg. M. Hodara’s many scientific achievements include reporting bacilli as a cause of comedo and acne, describing for the first time a kind of trichorrhexis nodosa that now bears his name (Hodara’s disease), succeeding in implanting hairs taken from patients in the scars left by favus, and so forth. This paper aims to present a biographical sketch of M. Hodara’s life and to outline his contributions to various topics in dermatology in light of some original documents, many of which were obtained from M. Hodara’s descendants.
