Abstract
A brief account is given of the history and early progress of medical mycology in India, including the contributions of British Army physicians, surgeons, and our physicians (MDs, DM) and scientists with PhD in mycology, medical mycology, or medical microbiology. A noteworthy feature is the discovery by our eminent mycologists, Prof. S.B. Saxena and Prof. P.C. Misra, of new genera and species of fungi, namely, Saksenaea vasiformis and Apophysomyces elegans, which are now recognized as agents of human fungal infections worldwide. A mention is also made of the discovery of several new species of species of pathogenic molds and yeasts, novel pathogens, and novel lab techniques by medical mycologists. Recent progress of medical mycology in different medical institutions including the four internationally recognized centers of research on ocular fungal infections in India is covered in detail with lists of important publications (2000–2020) from these institutions. Aspects of training graduates in medicine and postgraduates in microbiology, medical microbiology, and biological sciences are adequately dealt with including the mention of self-learning resources. The need for their attending workshops and training courses offered by premier medical institutions in India is emphasized. Suggestions are given in detail for surveys by Department of Preventive and Social Medicine in medical colleges with the collaboration of state departments of health/primary health centers in communities representative of their areas to investigate the occurrence of fungal infections like ringworm, keratitis, and mycetoma to estimate their burden and chalk out preventive measures. The need for exploring antifungal therapy by herbal drugs by our mycologists and physicians is also emphasized. In the end of the chapter, the history of Indian Society of Medical Mycologists (ISMM) and its present status, ISMM awards, and ISMM Newsletter are mentioned.
