“…In total 17 studies were excluded for analysis because they did not meet the inclusion criteria (5 studies) [11], [19], [20], [21], [22], or contained data already published in another paper (6 studies) [8], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27] or consisted of reviews instead of original data (5 studies) [3], [5], [28], [29], [30] or could not be retrieved (1 study). This led to a total number of 50 studies to be included into the study [4], [6], [7], [9], [10], [12], [13], [17], [18], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62], [63], [64], [65], [66], …”

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

2013

Mycetoma is a chronic infectious disease of the subcutaneous tissue with a high morbidity. This disease has been reported from countries between 30°N and 15°S since 1840 but the exact burden of disease is not known. It is currently unknown what the incidence, prevalence and the number of reported cases per year per country is. In order to estimate what the global burden of mycetoma is, a meta-analysis was performed. In total 50 studies were included, which resulted in a total of 8763 mycetoma cases. Most cases were found in men between 11 and 40 years of age. The foot was most commonly affected. Most cases were reported from Mexico, Sudan and India. Madurella mycetomatis was the most prevalent causative agent world-wide, followed by Actinomadura madurae, Streptomyces somaliensis, Actinomadura pelletieri, Nocardia brasiliensis and Nocardia asteroides. Although this study represents a first indication of the global burden on mycetoma, the actual burden is probably much higher. In this study only cases reported to literature could be used and most of these cases were found by searching archives from a single hospital in a single city of that country. By erecting (inter)national surveillance programs a more accurate estimation of the global burden on mycetoma can be obtained.

“…The prevalence studies mentioned in the previous section demonstrated that mycetoma is mainly found in young adults. 10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] In most countries, males are more often infected than females. 10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] Although most cases are found in this age group, no age is exempted.…”

“…[23][24][25] There are a few reports on mycetoma from the USA, France, Germany, the UK, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Thailand, and Japan. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] To date, its true incidence, prevalence, and route of infection are not well understood, due to the fact that mycetoma is not a reportable disease. 33 Globally, various singlecenter studies have been performed to estimate the disease prevalence in certain areas.…”

Mycetoma is a chronic infectious disease of the subcutaneous tissue with a high morbidity. This disease is most commonly seen in countries between 30°N and 15°S of the equator, but cases have also been seen in Europe and the USA. Due to the lack of proper prevalence data, currently the true burden of this disease is not known. Mycetoma can be caused by a large variety of microorganisms, both bacteria and fungi. Treatment of the disease depends on the etiology of the causative agent. Actinomycetoma is usually treated with antibiotics only and has a decent cure rate; eumycetoma is treated with a combination of antibiotics and surgery. Unfortunately, for eumycetoma, recurrent infections are common and amputations are still needed in a large proportion of the patients.
