Ein Krankheitssymptom der acuten Meningitis.

St. Petersb. med. Wschr., 7, 398, 1882.

Kernig drew attention to a flexor contracture of the leg on attempting to extend it on the thigh (“Kernig’s sign”), almost always present in cerebrospinal meningitis and an important diagnostic sign. A fuller description is in Z. klin. Med., 1907, 64, 19-69.
