Mycetoma is a chronic subcutaneous fungal infection characterized by tumefaction, draining sinuses, and grains. It is most common in the tropics but occasionally occurs in the United States. We report a case of a mycetoma affecting the foot of a 38-year-old mentally retarded man from northern New England. The causal organism was identified as Pseudallescheria boydii, the most common cause of mycetoma in the United States. The patient showed a partial response to 8 months of ketoconazole therapy.
足菌肿是一种慢性皮下真菌感染，其特征为肿胀、引流窦道和颗粒。它在热带地区最为常见，但在美国偶尔也会出现。我们报告一例足菌肿病例，患者为一名来自新英格兰北部的38岁智障男子，足部受到感染。致病微生物被鉴定为波氏假阿利什霉，它是美国足菌肿最常见的病因。该患者在接受8个月的酮康唑治疗后有部分反应。
