Cytodiagnosis of actinomycetoma

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 2009
AbstractMycetoma is a late clinical manifestation of a subcutaneous infection produced by bacteria (actinomycetoma) or fungi (eumycetoma). The distinction between eumycetoma and actinomycetoma in Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is as accurate as histopathology. A 55 year old man presented with a slow growing swelling on the plantar aspect of the

Staphylococcus aureus causing primary foot botryomycosis mimicking actinomycetoma: a case report from Sudan

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Botryomycosis is a rare chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease of bacterial origin. Two forms of the disease exist; the cutaneous and the visceral form. The subcutaneous form mimics actinomycetoma clinically and histologically; however, the treatment

Actinomycetoma laboratory-based diagnosis: a mini-review

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2021
Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease that is caused either by fungi (eumycetoma) or bacteria (actinomycetoma). The latter is caused by various actinomycetes of the genera Nocardia, Streptomyces and Actinomadura.

Increased expression of the PD-1/PD-L1 regulatory axis in tissue leukocytes from experimental actinomycetoma by Nocardia brasiliensis in BALB/c mice

Microbial Pathogenesis
The development of experimental actinomycetoma in mice pioneered the study of infective mechanisms in nocardiosis. However, the understanding of lymphocyte activation in actinomycetoma remains incomplete. In this study, we used flow cytometry to evaluate

Actinomycetoma in the United States

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1981
Actinomycetoma (Madura foot) caused by Actinomadura madurae occurred in an Indiana factory worker. Previous cases of culture-proven actinomycetoma from the United States and reports of drug therapy were reviewed. Treatment with sulfonamides, streptomycin, dapsone, and other antimicrobial agents has been effective. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ)

Giant grains of nocardia actinomycetoma

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2010
A 27-year-old woman presented to a tertiary centre for mycology in Mexico City, Mexico, with an 11-year history of progressive swelling and deformity of her right foot, and was no longer able to weight-bear. Clinically, there were draining sinuses and giant, white grains with a seropurulent discharge (fi gure, A). A radiograph of her foot showed marked
