Émile Leredde

Laurent Victor Louis Émile Leredde (26 October 1866, Paris – 1926) was a French physician, specialising in dermatology.

He studied medicine in Paris, where he received his doctorate in 1893. Later on, he served as laboratory chief at the Hôpital Saint-Louis.

In 1885, Leredde published with François Henri Hallopeau a report on the papular facial rash of tuberous sclerosis, then known as "adénomes sébacés" (adenoma sebaceum). The report also noticed the frequent association of epilepsy with the dermatological condition.
