Duchenne de Boulogne is known mainly by the disease eponymously named "Duchenne muscular dystrophy", or pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy, although some experts consider that the original description of this disease does not belong to him. Less well known are the facts related to the tragic death of his beloved wife shortly after the birth of his only child, the unjustifiable distance he was forced to keep from this son for more than 30 years, and of being humiliated and professionally despised by his peers. These events made the life of this physician, physiologist, researcher and inventor extremely arduous. We emphasize some aspects of the history of this man, his work and his life, a true genius of few friends.
迪谢纳·德·布洛涅主要因以他的名字命名的疾病“杜兴氏肌营养不良症”，即假肥大性肌营养不良症而为人所知，尽管一些专家认为这种疾病的最初描述并非出自他手。鲜为人知的是，他深爱的妻子在生下独子后不久悲惨离世，他被迫与儿子分离30多年，毫无道理可言，以及他遭到同行羞辱和职业上的轻视。这些事件让这位医生、生理学家、研究员和发明家的生活异常艰难。我们着重讲述了这个男人的历史、他的工作和生活中的一些方面，他是一位真正的天才，却朋友寥寥。
