David Gruby (August 20, 1810 – November 14, 1898) was a Hungarian physician born in the village of Kis-Kér (now Bačko Dobro Polje, Serbia). He received his doctorate in Vienna and performed scientific research in Paris. Gruby is remembered as a pioneer in the fields of microbiology and medical mycology. Most of his important work was done during the 1840s. In 1841 he described the fungus associated with favus, a discovery that was independent of Johann Lukas Schönlein's (1793–1864) findings. Later, the fungal parasite was called ''Achorion schoenleinii'' in Schönlein's honor. In 1842 he described a microscopic cryptogam (''Trichophyton ectothrix'') that is associated with a dermatological disease known as ''sycosis barbae''. Gruby also discovered ''Candida (Monilia) albicans'', the cause of candidiasis, and in 1843 he described a fungus (''Microsporum audouinii'') that is the cause of a type of ringworm. This fungus was named after naturalist Jean Victor Audouin (1797–1842). Gruby also discovered a parasite in the blood of frogs he called ''Trypanosoma sanguinis''. During the early years of anaesthesia, he performed important experiments with chloroform and ether on animals. == Associated eponym == * "Gruby's disease": Tinea capitis in children caused by an infection with ''Trichophyton tonsurans''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Gruby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
