    Author: Stierstorfer MB, Schwartz BK, McGuire JB, Miller AC.
    Journal: Int J Dermatol; 1988; 27(6):383-7. PubMed ID: 3229880.
    Abstract:
    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.
