By his contemporaries Niels Ryberg Finsen (1860-1904) has been described as a highly dynamic personality and characterised as a sympathetic, kind, confidence-inspiring, conscientious, reliable, intellectual, mysterious and genious doctor, who took care of his patients' illness as well as their social and economic conditions. But he was known too as sharp, critical and able to defend his scientific viewpoints with a deep commitment. Niels Finsen introduced the universal light bath, but his great achievement was the local light treatment of lupus vulgaris for which he got the Nobel Prize in 1903. In the article the history of lupus vulgaris, its treatment and its social consequenses for the patients as individuals are described as an introduction to an analysis of Niels Finsen's scientific methods, his treatment and results and the reactions from the contemporary medical authorities, the public represented by the press and the patients themselves. Finally the discussions after Niels Finsen's death are researched.
他的同代人将尼尔斯·赖伯格·芬森（1860 - 1904）描述为一个极具活力的人，认为他是一位富有同情心、善良、令人信赖、尽责、可靠、有才智、神秘且天才的医生，他不仅关心患者的病情，还关注他们的社会和经济状况。但他也以敏锐、挑剔且能坚定捍卫自己的科学观点而闻名。尼尔斯·芬森引入了全身光浴疗法，不过他的伟大成就是对寻常狼疮的局部光疗，为此他在1903年获得了诺贝尔奖。在本文中，作为对尼尔斯·芬森的科学方法、他的治疗手段及结果以及当代医学权威、以媒体为代表的公众和患者自身的反应进行分析的引言，描述了寻常狼疮的病史、其治疗方法以及对患者个人的社会影响。最后，研究了尼尔斯·芬森去世后的相关讨论。
