Jörgen Erik Lehmann (15 January 1898 – 26 December 1989) was a Danish-born Swedish physician and chemist best known for his discovery in the 1940s that para-amino salicylic acid (PAS) would make an excellent orally-available tuberculosis therapy. PAS was, together with streptomycin, the first efficacious anti-microbial therapy for tuberculosis and remained in clinical use for several decades.
