Academician Franjo Kogoj graduated medicine in 1920 in Prague, where he then pursued training in dermatovenerology. During later years, he also visited other dermatology clinics in Europe, where he collaborated with renowned dermatologists of the time, such as in Breslau (present day Wroclaw in Poland) with Josef Jadassohn and in Strasbourg with Lucien-Marie Pautrier. He was also active in the famous Saint-Louis hospital in Paris. Academician Kogoj's scientific interests were especially focused on allergies, exanthemas, skin tuberculosis, and keratodermas. Kogoj was very active in defining a precise and useful terminology for various dermatological conditions, where the terminology was in many ways confusing and often overlapping, such as in cases of eczema and dermatitis. Kogoj performed experimental studies of allergic reactions in eczema and atopic dermatitis and introduced the term pruridermatitis (Pruridermatitis allergica chronica) into dermatological terminology instead of the name neurodermitis and other synonyms essentially describing atopic dermatitis (endogenous eczema, prurigo-asthma, prurigo Besnier). Academician Kogoj managed to define Mal de Meleda as a separate form of hereditary keratoderma and was engaged in the clinical symptomatology, serology, and therapy of syphilis, whereby he emphasized the so-called "critical moment" in the treatment of syphilis. Academician Kogoj's most famous scientific achievement was his histological definition of the spongiform pustule in the pathomorphology of psoriasis, which became a groundbreaking histological novelty in the classification of psoriasis, thus bearing Kogoj's name in the medical literature to this date. Academician Kogoj published many scientific and professional articles, books, monographs and contributions to manuals and textbooks. He was honored nationally as well as internationally as a leading expert in the field of medicine and dermatology, receiving many eminent awards and recognitions throughout his scientific career.
院士弗朗乔·科戈（Franjo Kogoj）于 1920 年在布拉格获得医学学位，随后在那里接受皮肤病学培训。在后来的几年里，他还访问了欧洲的其他皮肤科诊所，在那里与当时的知名皮肤科医生合作，如在布雷斯劳（现波兰弗罗茨瓦夫）与约瑟夫·雅达松（Josef Jadassohn）和在斯特拉斯堡与吕西安-马里·波蒂埃（Lucien-Marie Pautrier）。他还在巴黎著名的圣路易医院（Saint-Louis hospital）工作。院士科戈的科学兴趣特别集中在过敏、疹、皮肤结核和角化病上。科戈非常积极地为各种皮肤病定义精确而有用的术语，因为在许多方面，这些术语都令人困惑，而且经常重叠，例如在湿疹和皮炎的情况下。科戈对湿疹和特应性皮炎的过敏反应进行了实验研究，并将术语瘙痒性皮炎（Pruridermatitis allergica chronica）引入皮肤病学术语，而不是使用神经皮炎（neurodermitis）和其他同义词，这些同义词本质上描述的是特应性皮炎（内源性湿疹、瘙痒症、Besnier 瘙痒症）。科戈院士成功地将梅尔达德病（Mal de Meleda）定义为一种遗传性角化病的特殊形式，并致力于梅毒的临床症状、血清学和治疗，强调梅毒治疗中的所谓“关键时刻”。科戈院士最著名的科学成就是在病理形态学中对银屑病海绵状脓疱的组织学定义，这在银屑病的分类中是一个开创性的组织学新发现，因此至今在医学文献中以科戈的名字命名。科戈院士发表了许多科学和专业文章、书籍、专著以及对手册和教科书的贡献。他作为医学和皮肤病学领域的权威专家，在国内外都享有盛誉，在整个科学生涯中获得了许多杰出的奖项和认可。
