[Development of endocrinology in Serbia].
The beginnings of endocrinology in Serbia date back to the second half of the 19th century. At that time some empiric case reports were published, mostly in Serbian Archives of Medicine and today we know that they belonged to the field of endocrinology. Between two World Wars professional articles and more serious studies in endocrinology were also published, but sporadically and non-systematically. Rapid progress in endocrinology in Serbia occurred after the Second World War, in many segments reaching European and World levels. Enormous contribution to development of clinical endocrinology was made by Prof. Dr. Mioljub Kicić, Prof. Dr. Dusan Durić and Academician Prof. Dr. Borislav Bozović, and to basic, experimental endocrinology by Academician Prof. Dr. Radivoj Milin. Apart from chronological reviews concerning foundation of certain endocrinology clinics and institutes in Belgrade, this paper also deals with foundation of endocrinology institutions in Novi Sad and other university centers in Serbia.
