[63 cases of mycetoma in the Niger Republic (etiological study based on histopathology)]
Abstract
63 samples of mycetomas were examined between 1981 and 1984. Most of them (53 cases) were actinomycotic mycetomas of which 20 were due to Streptomyces somaliensis, 17 to Actinomadura pelletieri, 11 to Nocardia sp., 4 to Actinomadura madurae. The 11 mycotic mycetomas were all due to Madurella mycetomi (= M. mycetomatis).
