Red grain mycetoma of the scalp (Actinomadura pelletieri). A case report from India.

Abstract:

:A case of red grain mycetoma on the scalp is described. The disease, caused by Actinomadura pelletieri, is extremely rare in this part of the world, and from India this is perhaps the first case with scalp involvement. The lesion showed satisfactory response to partial excision followed by chemotherapy with streptomycin.
