Biography

Carlos José Botelho Junior, Brazilian physician (São Paulo c.1884 – São Paulo 12 April 1960)

Observed that citric acid enables iodine in potassium iodide to precipitate proteins and sera more readily in the serum of cancer patients that in that of normal subjects (1916) and developed Botelho reaction or test based on it that was improved by Ichikawa (1928)

Presented Botelho reaction at Academie des Sciences de Paris (1917) 

Improved the Botelho reaction employing refractometry

Proposed a formula to use in Botelho’s reaction (Q=40/i, being Q the desired amount of serum and i the refractometric index of serum in albumin equivalents)   

Created Hartmann-Botelho solution for local treatment of ulcerative cancer with H. Hartmann in Presse Medicale 32 (1918)
