    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Mycetoma is a chronic fungal infection.
    • Accurate etiological diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To histopathologically analyze mycetoma cases.
    • To determine the epidemiological characteristics and causative agents of mycetoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological examination of granules from 150 clinically diagnosed mycetoma cases.
    • Special staining procedures and cultural methods for fungal identification.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, lesion site, and etiological agents.

    Main Results:

    • Histopathological granules were found in 90 out of 150 cases.

  • Actinomycotic mycetoma (68.9%) was more prevalent than maduromycotic mycetoma.
  • Common etiological agents included Madurella mycetomi (37.8%) and Actinomadura madurae (26.7%).
  • Nocardia spp. (21.1%) were also significant causative agents.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mycetoma predominantly affects individuals aged 21-40, with a higher incidence in males.
    • The foot is the most common site for mycetoma lesions.
    • Histopathological and etiological analysis is vital for understanding mycetoma prevalence and distribution.
