Article Synopsis
- - Mycetoma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting subcutaneous tissues and sometimes bones, often caused by bacteria from the genus Nocardia.
- - A 43-year-old male presented with extensive mycetoma lesions on his forearm, chest, and neck, showing signs such as erythema and draining pus, diagnosed through genetic sequencing which identified Nocardia mexicana.
- - Successful treatment with a combination of antibiotics was achieved after six months, and the case suggests that Nocardia mexicana can spread through contact with animals, as it was linked to the patient’s manipulation of a calf.
