George Frederick Dick, an American physician and bacteriologist, conducted pioneering research on scarlet fever. He served in the Army Medical Corps during World War I, where he studied the disease and continued his investigations after the war. Working with his wife, he identified the toxin produced by Streptococcus bacteria as the cause of scarlet fever. This discovery led to the development of an antitoxin for treatment and a non-toxic vaccine for immunization. Dick’s significant contributions in the field of therapeutics earned him recognition and awards.
