Edouard Drouhet

Edouard Drouhet (June 18, 1919 – January 1, 2000) was a physician, biologist, and medical mycologist who played a key role in understanding how anti-fungal agents such as ketoconazole and amphotericin-B can be used as therapeutic treatments in humans with superficial or deep-seated mycoses.[1][2][3][4]

He was one of the founding members in the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) and the French Society of Medical Mycology.[1] After Edouard Drouhet's death, Edouard Drouhet is commemorated at the European Confederation of Medical Mycology by having a lecture and a medal dedicated in his name.[5]
