title: Thyroid function in patients with mycetoma.
abstract: Thyroid function was assessed in seventy two patients with various types of mycetoma. There was no evidence of clinical or biochemical thyroid dysfunction in these patients. The symptoms encountered in some of the mycetoma patients mimic those of hypothyroidism should be attributed to other factors possibly mental depression and apathy.
