Lotte Strauss

Lotte Strauss (15 April 1913 – 4 July 1985) was a Jewish German-American pathologist.

She was born in Nuremberg, Germany.

Strauss, alongside Jacob Churg, attributed her name to Churg–Strauss syndrome, which is now known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. She was one of the founders of the Society for Pediatric Pathology. The group included Lotte Strauss, Jacob Churg and Edith Grishman, and was deemed “most productive for many years”.

The Society for Pediatric Pathology annually awards The Lotte Strauss Prize to an individual under 40 years of age for their contribution to pediatric pathology that has been "published or accepted for publication during the year immediately preceding the award".
