Pale grain eumycetoma, a fungal infection, was identified in seven out of 211 biopsy specimens. Mycological analysis revealed Acremonium kiliense, Acremonium falciforme, and Pseudallescheria boydii as causative agents.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Histopathology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Mycetoma is a chronic subcutaneous infection.
  • Eumycetoma is caused by fungi.
  • Pale grain mycetoma is a less common variant.

Observation:

  • Histological examination of 211 mycetoma biopsy specimens was performed.
  • Seven cases of pale grain eumycetoma were identified.
  • Four of these cases underwent mycological investigation.

Findings:

  • Acremonium kiliense was isolated from two cases.
  • Acremonium falciforme was isolated from one case.
  • Pseudallescheria boydii was isolated from one case.

Implications:
