Armand Trousseau (French pronunciation: [aʁmɑ̃ tʁuso]; 14 October 1801 – 23 June 1867) was a French internist. His contributions to medicine include Trousseau sign of malignancy, Trousseau sign of latent tetany, Trousseau–Lallemand bodies (an archaic synonym for Bence Jones proteins[1]). He is sometimes credited with the quip "use new drugs quickly, while they still work",[2] though Michel-Philippe Bouvart had said the same over 40 years earlier.[3][4]
