Mycetoma of the foot caused by Fusarium solani: identification of the etiologic agent by DNA sequencing.
We report a case of Fusarium solani mycetoma of the foot that could not be diagnosed by culture, but was correctly identified after amplification and sequence analysis of fungal internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 and 5.8S ribosomal DNA regions.
