Eumycotic mycetoma involving the right foot: A new Tunisian case. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep, 2022
A Tunisian patient with painless swelling and discharging sinuses of the right foot was diagnosed with eumycetoma after 1 year of evolution. Mycetoma is a neglected disease relatively rare in our country. An early and accurate diagnosis, based on histopathological and microbiological examinations, limits functional and esthetical damage.

Diagnostics to support mycetoma management-Development of two target product profiles. [PDF]

Trop Med Int Health, 2022
Abstract Objective Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease caused by more than 70 different microorganisms and identified by the WHO as one of the high‐priority diseases for developing diagnostic tests. To ensure the production of diagnostic assays for use by clinical staff in endemic regions, target product profiles (TPPs) were designed.

Wako β‐D‐glucan assay can be used to measure serum β‐D‐glucan in Sudanese patients to aid with diagnosis of eumycetoma caused by Madurella mycetomatis

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 783-786, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Eumycetoma is a neglected tropical infection of the subcutaneous tissue commonly caused by the fungus Madurella mycetomatis. Previously, we demonstrated that β‐D‐glucan was present in the serum of eumycetoma patients. Objective To compare the performance of the recently approved easy‐to‐use Wako β‐D‐glucan assay to that of the ...

Ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration cytology significantly improved mycetoma diagnosis

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 1845-1850, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Ultrasound (US)‐guided fine‐needle aspiration cytology (US‐FNAC) has improved the diagnosis of many malignancies, infections and other diseases as it is safe, simple, quick and accurate. In mycetoma, it is assumed that this technique may have a better diagnostic yield than the conventional FNAC as it can accurately identify the ...

Cystic form of Actinomycotic mycetoma: A new case with a diagnostic challenge

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 2449-2452, April 2021., 2021
Mycetoma, commonly known as Madura foot, is a chronic granulomatous infection caused either by fungi (eumycetoma) known as actinomycete. This disease occurs preferentially in young adults, and it affects the foot in particular. We report a Tunisian case of mycetoma occurring in an old patient, particular by its cystic presentation.
