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
