  • Dr James MacDonald Troup
  • Dr James MacDonald Troup (1867-1945) was a general medical practitioner who emigrated to South Africa. He has been described as a 'thorough diagnostician who treated his patients with care and good timing, had extensive experience to fall back on and an outstanding memory'. His main achievement was his recognition, based on years of clinical observation, of tick-bite fever as a new disease. He and Adrianus Pijper were the first to investigate the disease properly and published their findings in 'Tick-bite fever in South Africa' (The Lancet, 1931). In 1910 Troup married Alberta Beatrice Caroline Davis, with whom he had three daughters, Winifred (later Freda Levson, who was active in the Anti-Apartheid movement), Margaret (later Lady Margaret Casson, the architect and designer) and Isobel who had Down Syndrome. Freda edited a memorial volume to her father entitled 'Physician and friend: James MacDonald Troup', a biography consisting mainly of letters he wrote.
