(1624–89), English physician, born in Wynford Eagle, Dorsetshire, and educated at the University of Oxford. He is especially noted for introducing the use of cinchona bark in the treatment of malaria, differentiating between scarlet fever and measles, and being the first to describe accurately chorea and gout. Sydenham was the foremost physician of his time, and his Processus Integri (Advances in Healing, 1692), published posthumously, was long the standard book for English practitioners.
