Biography Historical ArticleIN MEMORIAM Professor ZDRAVKO PERIŠ, MD, PhD (1927-2018).
On December 4, 2018, death took from us and his family Professor Zdravko Periš, Croatia's oldest and most renowned living dermatovenerologist, after a long and severe illness. Professor Periš was born in Vis in 1927, after which the family moved to Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he finished primary and secondary school. He attended the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Medicine but spent the last semesters in Zagreb and graduated from the Zagreb University Medical School in 1955. ⋯ In his private life, he loved his family above all: his wife Jelka who lived with him for more than 60 years, his son Zdravko and his granddaughter Nika. It was my great privilege and fortune that I had the opportunity to work with Professor Periš for a few years, and we always remained on friendly terms after his retirement. We shall always remember his kindness and respect his mastery in the care and treatment of his patients.
