List the similarities and differences encountered when comparing mycetoma and chromoblastomycosis.
Mycetoma
Mycetoma is a chronic, progressively destructive morbid
inflammatory disease usually of the foot but any part of the body
can be affected. Infection is most probably acquired by traumatic
inoculation of certain fungi or bacteria into the subcutaneous
tissue. Mycetoma was described in the modern literature in 1694 but
was first reported in the mid-19th century in the Indian town of
Madura, and hence was initially called Madura foot.
Chromoblastomycosis
The disease Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic infection of cutaneous
and subcutaneous tissues. Lesions are clinically polymorphic, the
most frequent are nodular, verrucous and tumoral. Many different
species of fungi are associated with this infection but the three
most common species are: Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Cladophialophora
carrionii and Phialophora verrucosa.
The disease was first described in Brazil by Dr Max Rudolph, a German physician in 1914.
Difference-
S.no. | basis | mycetoma | Chromoblastomycosis |
1 | skin lesions | white verncoid cutaneouslesion | small nodules and multiple discharging sinuses |
2 | morphology organisms | brown, round with thick walls. Yeast forms show septation( selerotic bodies or medlar bodies) | masses of black colour thick walled hyphal elements in the periphery of grains |
3 | tissue response | granulohistiocytic with microabscess formation | neutrophilic abscess with granulomatous reaction |
4 | direct microscopy | brown pigmented ,planate dividing, rounded sclerotic bodies | neutrophilic abscess with granulomatous reaction white to yellow or black pigmented grains |
5 | culture colonies | olivaceous black with a suede-like surface ,5-12 micro meter |
white and woolly at first , becoming olivaceous ,yellow or brown later , generally producing a brownish diffusing pigment. |
similarity-
S.no | mycetoma | Chromoblastomycosis |
1 | Transmission occurs when the causative organism enters the body through minor trauma or a penetrating injury, commonly thorn pricks | Patients become infected when injuries break the skin and allow the fungus to enter the body. |
2 | The causative organisms can be detected by examining surgical tissue biopsy as well the lesion sinuses discharge | The fungi can be identified in skin scrapings or by biopsy |
