The aim of this work was to demonstrate, quantify and compare cell elements in the inflammatory infiltrate of 23 skin lesions of actinomycetoma (ACM) and 17 of eumycetoma (EUM). Epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) population was also analyzed in 18 ACM, 13 EUM and ten normal skin samples as control group.
