Notes: Mycetoma is a localized primary subcutaneous infection due to fungi (eumycetoma) or aerobic actinomycetes (actinomycetoma). We report a patient who acquired an implantation infection on the forefoot following a motorcycle accident in Crete. Both Sporothrix schenckii and Nocardia asteroides were isolated simultaneously from the lesion. Under combined therapy with itraconazole and trimethoprim–sulphamethoxazole for 7 months the lesion healed completely. A combination of causative organisms in mycetomas is rare, and the combination of S. schenckii and N. asteroides together has not been reported from one lesion.
