    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Tropical Medicine

    Background:

    • Mycetoma is a neglected tropical fungal infection.
    • It is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.
    • Limited data exists on mycetoma epidemiology in southern Iran.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the subject of mycetoma.
    • To report 7 newly diagnosed cases from southern Iran.
    • To identify the causative agents of mycetoma in this region.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting.
    • Clinical and etiological diagnosis of mycetoma.
    • Identification of fungal and bacterial pathogens.

    Main Results:

    • Seven cases of mycetoma were diagnosed in southern Iran.
    • Actinomyces israelii was the most common agent (4 cases).
    • Nocardia asteroides, Actinomadura madurae, and Allescheria boydii were each identified in one case.

    Conclusions:

    • This report expands the understanding of mycetoma distribution in Iran.
    • Actinomyces israelii is a significant cause of mycetoma in southern Iran.
    • Further research is needed to understand the full spectrum of mycetoma in the region.
