favus

Scutula often occur on the scalp and are characteristic of favus.

Leprosy could mean many skin diseases, such as favus or psoriasis.

The name comes from the Latin favus meaning honeycomb.

He also discovered the parasitic cause of ringworm or favus (Achorion Schönleinii).

A. quinckeanum - now named Trichophyton quinckeanum, the species which causes favus in mice.

Passengers with infectious diseases like measles, diphtheria, and favus were shuttled to neighboring hospitals, which increasingly refused to take them.

Trichophyton rubrum is also a very common cause of favus o form tinea capitis in which crusts are seen on scalp.

Mastacembelus favus (Tire track eel)

Holohalaelurus favus (Honeycomb Izak)

There are three type of tinea capitis, microsporosis, trichophytosis, and favus; these are based on the causative microorganism, and the nature of the symptoms.

According to recent studies, the genus includes some species previously considered as belonging to the genus Chilaspis, whereas Dryocosmus favus should be excluded of the genus.

There were, for example, separate wards for whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever, favus, and diphtheria, and two wards each for trachoma and tuberculosis.

The honeycomb Izak or Natal Izak (Holohalaelurus favus) is a type of shark in the Western Indian Ocean areas near South Africa.

The scalp ringworm, also known as tinea capitis, mycosis, thrichophytia, and favus was one of the most common fungal diseases in children in the Jewish communities in Israel and abroad since 19th century.

The name T. mentagrophytes is now restricted to the agent of favus skin infection of the mouse; though this fungus may be transmitted from mice and their danders to humans, it generally infects skin and not nails.

Persons with severe favus and similar fungal diseases (and potentially also with severe psoriasis and other diseases not caused by microorganisms) tended to be classed as having leprosy as late as the 17th century in Europe.

Up until the advent of modern therapies, favus was widespread worldwide; prior to Schönlein's recognition of it as a fungal disease, it was frequently confused with Hansen's disease, better known as leprosy, and European sufferers were sometimes committed to leprosaria.
