Abstract
The scientific history of the fungus disease of India dates from the publication, in 1874, of the collected papers of Vandyke Carter. This observer showed that the fungus foot was a “veritable parasitic disease, due to the growth and extension within the tissues of the human foot of an indigenous mould.” He demonstrated the presence of the parasite in all specimens examined, and came to the conclusion that it was one species, the Chionyphe Carteri . In 1888 new observations were published in the collected papers of Lewis and Cunningham. They came to the conclusion that mycetoma was “essentially a degeneration of the fatty tissues, independent of the local presence or influence of any parasites whatever.”
