Leptosphaeria tompkinsii Mycetoma

Global Burden of Human Mycetoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…Other bacterial species implicated in mycetoma are Actinomadura latina , Gordonia terrae , Nocardia farcinica , Nocardia harenae , Nocardia mexicana , Nocardia transvalensis , Nocardia veterana , Nocardia yamanashiensis , Nocardiopsis dassonvillei and Streptomyces sudanensis [1], [14], [75], [76], [77], [78], [79], [80], [81], [82], [83]. Other fungal species implicated in mycetoma are Acremonium recifei , Cladophialophora bantiana , Corynespora cassiicola , Curvularia geniculata , Diaporthe phaseolorum , Fusarium oxysporum , Gibberella fujikuroi (synonym: Fusarium monoliforme ), Haematonectria haematococca (synonym: Fusarium solani ), Ilyonectria destructans (synonym: Cylindrocarpon destructans ), Falciformispora tompkinsii (synonym: Leptosphaeria tompkinsii ), Madurella fahalii , Madurella pseudomycetomatis , Madurella tropicana , Microsporum canis , Phaeoacremonium parasiticum , Phialophora cyanescens (synonym: Cylindrocarpon cyanescens ), Phialophora verrucosa , Pleurostomophora ochracea , Pseudochaetosphaeronema larense , Rhinocladiella atrovirens , Sarocladium kiliense (synonym: Acremonium kiliense ), Setosphaeria rostrata (synonym: Exserohilum rostrata ) [1], [15], [16], [84], [85], [86], [87], [88], [89], [90], [91], [92], [93], [94], [95], [96], [97], [98]. Since most of these species are only found in case studies, these are probably only rarely associated with mycetoma, if associated at all.…”

Case Report. Eumycetoma due to Curvularia lunata

“…Madurella mycetomatis and Madurella grisea were observed to be the common agents causing black grain mycetoma [1, 2, 4]. Other agents such as Leptosphaeria senegalensis [5] and Leptosphaeria tompkinsii [6] producing black grains are less frequently isolated. Pale‐grain‐producing fungi such as Pseudallescheria boydii , although common in the USA and Canada, are occasionally found to be the causative agent in India, as also are Acremonium spp.…”
