“…Relative to the presented case, clinically, it is very similar to other eumycetomas, located on the feet and with the classic morphology. The patient did not present any alteration of the immunity and the fact that he belonged to low socioeconomic levels and had chronic malnutrition aside from precarious working conditions have probably favored the development of mycetoma 3 , 6 , 8 .…”

Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous disease, classified into eumycetoma caused by fungi and actinomycetoma due to aerobic filamentous actinomycetes. Mycetoma can be found in geographic areas near the Tropic of Cancer. Mexico is one of the countries in which actinomycetoma is endemic. We report an extraordinary case of an adult male with double eumycetoma caused by Madurella mycetomatis and Fusarium verticillioides on both feet.

Introducción: el síndrome linfocutáneo es una forma clínica muy característica de linfangitis, que se presenta con nódulos inflamatorios subcutáneos que siguen un trayecto. Se han descrito múltiples patologías infecciosas que podrían tener esta presentación clínica y su enfoque diagnóstico es clave para un tratamiento acertado. Métodos: se realizó una búsqueda en PubMed MEDLINE y, posteriormente, una revisión narrativa describiendo las diferentes etiologías infecciosas del síndrome linfocutáneo. Resultados: el síndrome linfocutáneo puede tener múltiples causas, dentro de las cuales se encuentran infecciones micóticas, bacterianas, por micobacterias típicas o atípicas, y parásitos, siendo Sporothrix schenckii, Nocardia brasiliensis, Mycobacterium marinum y Leishmania sp. los agentes más frecuentemente asociados. Para determinar su etiología, es necesario considerar aspectos en la anamnesis (procedencia, ocupación, tiempo de evolución, antecedente de trauma), semiología de las lesiones, sintomatología asociada y, en muchos casos, confirmación diagnóstica con biopsias de piel, cultivo o tinción de Gram, u otros. Su tratamiento debe ser dirigido y, generalmente, debido al compromiso de trayectos linfáticos, se extiende por más tiempo respecto a las infecciones localizadas. Conclusiones: cuando nos enfrentamos a un paciente con hallazgos sugestivos de síndrome linfocutáneo, debemos considerar múltiples etiologías infecciosas. Con el fin de hacer más sencillo el enfoque diagnóstico, proponemos clasificar los agentes causales en 4 grandes grupos: infecciones micóticas, bacterianas, por micobacterias y parasitarias.

“…Fungi can cause a broad range of mycoses in humans: (a) Superficial fungal infections of the skin, nails and hair are commonly due to dermatophytes, for example Trichophyton rubrum or Trichophyton mentagrophytes , or yeasts, for example Candida or Malassezia furfur . (b) Subcutaneous fungal infections include sporotrichosis, chromoblastomycosis, mycetoma, phaeohyphomycosis, hyalohyphomycosis and lacaziosis . (c) Paracoccidioidomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, mucormycosis and cryptococcosis are common systemic fungal infections .…”

In addition to their critical role in allergic disorders, mast cells (MCs) are well recognized for their protective effector functions during bacteria and parasite infections. This review describes recent advancements of our understanding of the complex role of MCs in fungal infections. Specifically, we outline key features of the contribution of MCs to infections with six fungal pathogens, namely Sporothrix, Paracoccidioides, Aspergillus, Malassezia, Candida and Dermatophytes. Evidence from studies of these pathogens suggests that MCs can function as positive regulators that detect and contain fungi at the site of infection. However, it appears that the inflammation induced by MCs following fungal infections may not always and only be beneficial to the host. MC responses during fungal infections may primarily benefit the pathogen by facilitating its spreading and contributing to a greater severity of fungal infections. This review also highlights key drivers of MCs activation and effector mechanisms that have been identified for the multidimensional function of MCs in fungal diseases and in allergic diseases combined with fungal infection.
