Using a Madurella mycetomatis‐specific PCR on grains obtained via non‐invasive fine‐needle aspirated material is more accurate than cytology

Mycoses, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 477-482, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Eumycetoma is a chronic subcutaneous inflammatory fungal infection most often caused by the fungus Madurella mycetomatis. Using a species‐specific PCR on DNA directly isolated from grains is currently the most reliable method for species identification.

Antifungal Activity of Natural Naphthoquinones and Anthraquinones against Madurella mycetomatis

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Eumycetoma, the fungal form of the neglected tropical disease mycetoma, is a crippling infectious disease with low response rates to currently available antifungal drugs. In this study, a series of natural naphthoquinones and anthraquinones was evaluated for their activity against Madurella mycetomatis, which is the most common causative agent

Comparing the performance of the common used eumycetoma diagnostic tests

Mycoses, Volume 66, Issue 5, Page 420-429, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Objectives Mycetoma is a neglected tropical implantation disease caused by 70 different infectious agents. Identifying the causative organism to the species level is essential for appropriate patient management. Ultrasound, histopathology, culture and two species‐specific PCRs are most the commonly used methods for species identification in ...
