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 ...

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 ...

Epidemiological cut‐off values for itraconazole and ravuconazole for Madurella mycetomatis, the most common causative agent of mycetoma

Mycoses, Volume 65, Issue 12, Page 1170-1178, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Eumycetoma is a neglected tropical disease. It is a chronic inflammatory subcutaneous infection characterised by painless swellings which produce grains. It is currently treated with a combination of itraconazole and surgery. In an ongoing clinical study, the efficacy of fosravuconazole, the prodrug of ravuconazole, is being ...

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 ...

Eumycotic mycetoma involving the right foot: A new Tunisian case

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2022., 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.
