Raymond Sabouraud

Raymond Sabouraud (November 24, 1864 - 1938) was a French physician specialized in dermatology and mycology but also an accomplished painter and sculptor.

He invented a method to select fungi with a medium of low pH and a rather high concentration of sugar. This medium, called Sabouraud agar is named after him.

In 1904, Sabouraud introduced radiological treatment against ringworm of the scalp. He was well-known for his knowledge of scalp diseases, and had a clinic which attracted patients from all over the world.

With Ferdinand-Jean Darier (1856-1938) and Henri Gougerot (1881-1955), he edited an 8-volume text of dermatology titled "Nouvelle Pratique Dermatologique".
