He then entered the Marseille School of Medicine, led by François Cauvière, a close relative [2] then to Paris where he defended his thesis in 1843.
He then entered the Military Health Service and became, in 1852, the first associate professor of medicine at the Hospital Val-de-Grâce.[3] He also participated in the Crimean campaign in 1854 and 1855, where he made numerous observations on cholera.
He then was called into Persia in 1858 to become the personal physician to Nasseredin Shah. He moved there and got married in 1866 to Iphigenia Pisani, from a prominent family from Constantinople. Professor Tholozan trained numerous Persian physicians and performed important observations on the epidemiology of the plague, cholera and other infectious diseases such as the Asian relapsing fever.
Commander of the Legion of Honor and elected correspondent of the Academy of Sciences and the Medical Academy, Tholozan also played an important role in Franco-Iranian diplomatic relations accompanying the Shah during his three trips to Europe.
He was followed by another French physician called Jean-Baptiste Feuvrier or Joannès Feuvrier.
The circumstances of his death in 1897 in Tehran remain unclear and could be the result of a poisoning ordered by Mozaffaredin Shah.
