CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF DADRU VIS-À-VIS TINEA
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Dadru is a tridoshaja twak vikara with pittakapha predominance. Dadru presents clinically with the features of kandu, raga, pidaka, daha, rookshata, udgata mandala etc., which are very much similar with the features of Tinea like pruritis, erythema, vesicle or pustule etc., Tinea is a Latin word for gnawing worm which refers to the infection caused by the keratinophilic fungi which consist of multicellular filaments and multiply by spore formation. Hence an effort has been made to conceptually analyse Dadru with special reference to Tinea.
