ABSTRACT
E. Carwile LeRoy, M.D. was a pioneer in the study of systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma). His early medical training was strongly influenced by notable clinical investigators including Dr Kenneth Brinkhous, Dr Charles Christian and Dr Albert Sjoerdsma. Dr LeRoy is remembered for his seminal observations on the over-production of collagen by scleroderma fibroblasts and for his vascular hypothesis on the pathogenesis of scleroderma. The Division of Rheumatology & Immunology at the Medical University of South Carolina, established by Dr LeRoy, is world renowned for its clinical and translational studies of scleroderma and has produced many of the leaders in the international scleroderma community.
