P. boydii is involved in causing a variety of infections elsewhere in the body including paranasal sinuses, eyes, joints, subcutaneous tissue, lung and brains and soft tissue infections. The infection is acquired by traumatic implantation of the organism into the skin and tissues. It is also the main cause of mycetoma and an agent of phaeohyphmycosis.
