Camillo Wiethe (24 May 1889, Vienna – 10 July 1949, Vienna) was an Austrian otorhinolaryngologist.
He received his medical doctorate from the University of Vienna in 1913, and later served as a front-line physician during World War I. From 1918 to 1936, he was a physician at the clinic for otorhinolaryngology in Vienna, and in the meantime qualified as a university lecturer (1933). From 1936 to 1938, he was head of the department for otorhinolaryngology at Merchant's Hospital (Wiener Kaufmannschaft), and from 1938 to 1945 maintained a private practice on the Reichsratsstraße. In 1945 he became an associate professor and director of the second university clinic for otorhinolaryngology in Vienna.[1][2]
With Austrian dermatologist Erich Urbach, he described a rare, congenital lipoid storage disease that was to become known as Urbach–Wiethe disease.[3] In 1955 the thoroughfare Wiethestraße (Vienna) was named in his honor.[1]
