Albert Wilmarth was an influential physician in nineteenth century America. His works in asylum management, eugenics and neuropathology were intimately interrelated, and his conception of people with Down's syndrome and how they should be treated were largely a product of these relationships. While many of his activities may be perceived in a negative way today, he should be credited with having discovered vasculitis in the brains of people with Down's syndrome during his pathological studies, a condition which is now perceived as autoimmune.
阿尔伯特·威尔玛斯是19世纪美国一位有影响力的医生。他在精神病院管理、优生学和神经病理学方面的工作密切相关，他对唐氏综合征患者的概念以及他们应如何治疗在很大程度上是这些关系的产物。虽然如今他的许多活动可能会被负面看待，但在他的病理学研究中，他发现唐氏综合征患者大脑中存在血管炎，这一功绩应得到认可，而这种病症如今被认为是自身免疫性的。
