  abstract = {Mr E. L. Safi is a middle-aged singer and musician from West Sudan. He is representative of the large number of patients who experienced long-standing mycetoma during the COVID-19 pandemic, along with their families, the medical, health and socioeconomic community and the health system at large. The patient had mycetoma that eventually ended in leg amputation due to neglect of the small, painless subcutaneous swelling of his foot, resulting from his low socioeconomic and health education levels, geographical isolation, as well as the disruption to medical care caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.},
