When and where ringworm was first recorded and who identified ringworm?

Answer 1

ringworm was discovered when a jewish pesant in a village at Baczka, a fertile district of southern Hungary. He received his first instruction in secular knowledge from a medical student who worked as a substitute teacher in Kis-Kér and lodged in Gruby's father's home. In 1824 or 1825 he left Kis-Kér to seek further education in Pest.

His early years had been marked by great poverty, hardship, and prejudice. However, his great talent and determined pursuit of his aim enabled him to succeed in completing his secondary studies at the Piarist Gymnasium in Pest. In 1828 Gruby, then in the fifth year of his studies, went to Vienna to study medicine. He was a hard-working student and particularly concerned himself with anatomy under Christian Joseph Berres (1796-1844), professor of gross macroscopic anatomy. He graduated on August 5, 1839.

As a Jew Gruby had difficulties in finding an education position in surgery following his graduation. He succeeded, however, because of support from Joseph Freiherr von Wattmann-Maelcamp-Beaulieu (1789-1866), a famous surgeon. Gruby then turned to microscopy, which at the time was no science of repute in Wien. He is reported to have built himself an accurate clock and a microscope which was, for the time, an excellent instrument. HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL IT TOOK ME A WHILE! 2 hrs
