{{jpg-image}}<br>'''Erich Urbach''' (1893–1946) was an Austrian physician and dermatologist known for his contributions to the field of medicine, particularly in the study of skin diseases. He is best remembered for co-describing the [[Urbach-Wiethe disease]], a rare genetic disorder that affects the skin and various mucous membranes of the body, alongside his colleague [[Heinrich Wiethe]] in 1929.

==Biography==
Erich Urbach was born in 1893 in Vienna, Austria. He pursued his medical studies at the University of Vienna, where he later became a prominent figure in the field of dermatology. Throughout his career, Urbach focused on research related to skin conditions and allergies, contributing significantly to the understanding of these medical areas.

In 1929, Urbach, together with Heinrich Wiethe, identified a unique lipoid proteinosis condition, which was later named [[Urbach-Wiethe disease]] in their honor. This discovery marked a significant milestone in dermatology and genetics, providing insights into the genetic nature of certain skin diseases.

Erich Urbach's work extended beyond this singular discovery. He was an advocate for the advancement of dermatological science and was involved in various research projects that aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases. Despite the challenges of practicing medicine during the tumultuous times of early 20th century Europe, Urbach's contributions remained influential in his field.

Urbach's career was cut short by his untimely death in 1946. However, his legacy continues through the ongoing study and treatment of the Urbach-Wiethe disease and his contributions to dermatology and allergy research.

==Legacy==
Erich Urbach's work has had a lasting impact on the field of dermatology. The Urbach-Wiethe disease remains a subject of study for geneticists and dermatologists, highlighting the importance of his contributions to medical science. His research on skin diseases and allergies has paved the way for further advancements in these areas, benefiting countless patients worldwide.
