Arnold Klein
Arnold William Klein (February 27, 1945 – October 22, 2015) was an American dermatologist.
In the infancy of the AIDS epidemic, Klein became one of the first doctors in Los Angeles to diagnose a case of Kaposi's sarcoma in a young patient. He also worked closely with American pop musician Michael Jackson, diagnosing him with discoid lupus erythematosus and vitiligo and supplying him with over 200 shots of pethidine, aiding his addiction, starting in the mid-1980s.
Klein was born on February 27, 1945, in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, the son of a Jewish Orthodox rabbi and a Catholic mother of German and Scottish descent. He was raised in Michigan and North Miami, Florida, graduating with hall of fame pitcher Steve Carlton from North Miami High School in 1963.
In 1967, Klein earned his bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Pennsylvania. He attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, earning his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1971. He completed an internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and his residency in dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). In 1975, he served as Chief Resident in Dermatology at UCLA.
Klein was an unpaid, volunteer professor of Medicine and Dermatology at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.
Klein was an outspoken critic of the misuse of prescription drugs, toxins, and certain synthetic dermal fillers, including ArteFill. He was responsible for the FDA giving Allergan's Botox a black box warning. Klein was named a consultant to the FDA. He died on October 22, 2015, at the age of 70 at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California.
Klein served as the dermatologist for Michael Jackson. Following Jackson's death, Klein claimed to be a sperm donor, but stated that he did not believe he was the biological father of Jackson's children. However, Klein had multiple health problems such as multiple sclerosis, which would've prevented him from donating sperm as sperm donors are not allowed to donate if they have genetic disorders or other medical concerns.
In August 1985, Klein joined the board of the National AIDS Research Foundation (NARF). A month later, the Foundation merged with the AIDS Medical Association and are now known as amfAR. As of 2012[update], Klein was also a member of the advisory board of the AIDS Services Foundation Orange County, now known as Radiant Health Centers.[citation needed]
