Cervicofacial mycetoma is not caused by Actinomyces nor is it associated with cervicofacial actinomycosis. I'm not sure what disease entity this card is intending to assess, actinomycosis or mycetoma, but I'm assuming it's the former. A source reviewing the pathogenesis of mycetoma (including the fact that it is *not* caused by Actinomyces) is below.
