Fauvel, born in Paris and educated at the University of Paris, made one important contribution to cardiology. However, he devoted his scientific efforts primarily to the study of contagious diseases. He received his doctor's degree in 1840 upon the presentation of a thesis on capillary bronchitis, purulent and pseudomembranous catarrh of infants.1 Sometime later Fauvel was appointed clinic chief at Hôtel-Dieu, where he continued his studies on the epidemiology of scurvy and typhoid fever. When the Institute for Public Health in the Levant was organized, he was called to Constantinople in a senior position; one year later he was appointed a member of the Imperial Council of the Ottoman Empire. In 1849, Fauvel accepted the professorship of pathology at the school of medicine in Constantinople. Remaining in the Near East for almost two decades, he devoted his time largely to public health administration and epidemiologic field studies
