Born in Bern, Switzerland, Arnold Klebs, the son of renowned bacteriologist Edwin Klebs, was raised in the presence of an extensive array of scientists, artists, and historians.[1] In his teenage years, Klebs was one of Switzerland's pioneer bicycle racers.[2]

Klebs received a medical degree from the University of Basel in 1896, then moved to the United States to practice medicine. Klebs worked with William Osler at Johns Hopkins University for a year after arriving in the U.S. and was a contemporary of William H. Welch. Following his work with Osler, he worked as a sanatorium director and tuberculosis specialist in Citronelle, Alabama and Chicago, Illinois.[1] Given his long experience with the ailment, Klebs was named one of the first directors of the National Tuberculosis Institute.[3]

In 1910, he returned to his native Switzerland, and settled in a villa on Lake Geneva.[1] In 1939, Klebs donated his collection of books to Harvey Cushing for its inclusion in what would become the Yale University's Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library, where they were organized and curated by Madeline Stanton.[4][5] These included incunabula, plague tracts, herbals, books and pamphlets on tuberculosis, and books on inoculation and vaccination.[6] Klebs' library included 3000 texts related to tuberculosis alone.[3]
