SUMMARY Biopsy specimens from 211 cases of mycetoma were examined histologically. Pale grain eumycetoma was found in seven cases. Four of these were studied mycologically, Acremonium kiliense was isolated from two and Acremonium falciforme and Pseudallescheria boydii from one case each. The geographic distribution of these organisms, and their incidence and prevalence are discussed.
