Received 30 September 2002/ Returned for modification 27 November 2002/ Accepted 13 January 2003

We report a case of Fusarium solani mycetoma of the foot that could not be diagnosed by culture, but was correctly identified after amplification and sequence analysis of fungal internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 and 5.8S ribosomal DNA regions.
