Mycetoma, a chronic and mutilating subcutaneous infection recognized by the WHO as a neglected tropical disease, has been reported in >25 countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. In Latin America, is assumed to be the prevalent fungal agent. Recent molecular studies have shown that this is an environmental saprobe in Europe, where it is rarely implicated in human diseases. The aim of the present paper is to establish the identity of Latin American cases ascribed to Three cases analyzed were caused by Data on an additional 21 strains in the literature revealed that rather than is responsible for most cases of black grain eumycetoma in Latin America.
足菌肿,一种由世界卫生组织认定的慢性、致残性皮下感染,已在非洲、亚洲和南美洲的 25 个以上国家报告。在拉丁美洲,被认为是主要的真菌病原体。最近的分子研究表明,在欧洲,它是一种环境腐生物,很少与人类疾病有关。本文旨在确定被归因于的拉丁美洲病例的身份。分析的三个病例是由引起的。文献中关于另外 21 株菌的数据表明,在拉丁美洲,导致黑粒外生菌肿的大多数病例的原因是,而不是。
