Area of Science:

Medical Mycology and Tropical Diseases

Background:

Mycetoma is a chronic, destructive inflammatory neglected tropical disease caused by fungi (eumycetoma) or actinomycetes (actinomycetoma).
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective mycetoma treatment, requiring identification of causative organisms and assessment of disease extent.
Clinical examination alone is insufficient for identifying the causative agent or determining the full spread of mycetoma.

Purpose of the Study:

To present the Mycetoma Research Centre's experience and recommendations on diagnostic imaging for mycetoma.
To highlight the importance of imaging in mycetoma diagnosis and management planning.

Main Methods:

Review of diagnostic imaging techniques including radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Experience from the Mycetoma Research Centre, a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre.

Main Results:

Imaging techniques are vital for determining the extent of mycetoma lesions across tissue planes and bone.
Clinical assessment is a preliminary step, but imaging provides critical information for diagnosis and management.

Conclusions:

Diagnostic imaging plays a critical role in the comprehensive management of mycetoma.
Standardized imaging protocols are recommended for accurate mycetoma diagnosis and staging.
