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 ...

Diagnostics to support mycetoma management—Development of two target product profiles

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 27, Issue 12, Page 1059-1064, December 2022., 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.

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 ...

Nocardia brasiliensis induces formation of foamy macrophages and dendritic cells in vitro and in vivo.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Foamy cells have been described in various infectious diseases, for example in actinomycetoma induced by Nocardia brasiliensis. These cells are generally considered to be macrophages, although they present dendritic cell (DC)-specific surface markers. In
