Five-year follow-up of a man with subcutaneous mycetomas caused by Microsporum audouinii.
A black man with subcutaneous mycetomas caused by Microsporum audouinii was treated by a combination of griseofulvin, 18.5 g of amphotericin B, excisional surgery, and later, ketoconazole, resulting in a satisfactory arrest or cure of the clinical illness. Complications of therapy included residual impaired renal function and a change in hair color from black to a rust brown color. The continued use of the term mycetoma to describe such lesions is justified.
