Entry
H02385                      Disease                                
Name
Eumycetoma
Description
Mycetoma is an infectious disease of skin and subcutaneous tissue. It can be caused by either bacteria (actinomycetoma [DS:H01451]) or fungi (eumycetoma). It is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions. Madurella mycetomatis, Madurella grisae, and Scedosporium apiospermum are the most common causative agents. The primary niche of these microorganisms is suggested to be the soil. The infection is thought to start subcutaneously after traumatic inoculation of these microorganisms.
