A localised chronic infection caused by various species of fungi and characterised by the formation of aggregates of the causative organisms (grains) within abscesses. This results in severe damage to skin, subcutaneous tissues and bones of the feet, hands and other parts of the body, with draining sinuses which discharge grains to the surface. Recognised agents include Madurella mycetomatis, Madurella grisea, Leptosphaeria senegalensis, Curvularia lunata, Scedosporium apiospermum, Neotestudina rosatii, Acremonium spp. and Fusarium spp.
