Favus was first recognised by Bateman, but it was not until the year 1839 that Schonlein published the fact that the yellow patches were composed of the mycelia and spores of a parasitic fungus. The fungus was first cultivated by Bazin. In its earlier stages it is indistinguishable from the Tinia tonsurans, but soon assumes the honeycomb appearance. It grows on all ordinary media except Fig. 24.—Achokion Schonlbinii. (Growth from a favus patch.) Gelatine is liquefied. On agar the colonies appear dis- tinctly in forty-eight hours; they are surrounded by a fine fringe of threads. On blood serum star-shaped colonies are formed, which radiate out from the centre, producing a flower-like appearance ; the gelatine is not liquefied. It also grows well on bread and potato. Favus affects man, dogs, cats, mice, and rats; to the two latter animals it is commonly fatal; the disease is readily transmissible from animals to man. The favus patches are distinguished by their yellow colour, their peculiar smell, and their slightly cup-shaped Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Pearmain, Thomas Hames; Moor, Cresacre George.
