Jules Comby (1853-1947) was a French pediatrician. With
Antoine Marfan (1858-1942) and
Jacques-Joseph Grancher (1843-1907), he published the influential
Traité des maladies de l’enfance (Treatise of the Diseases of Childhood). Also the eponymous
Comby's sign is named after him, which is an early indication of
measles characterized by thin whitish patches on the
gums and
buccal mucous membrane.
