The infection caused by true fungi (eumycetoma) in 40% or filamentous bacteria (actinomycetoma) in 60% of the cases [1]. Actinomycetoma may be due to Actinomadura madurae, Actinomadura peliietieri, Streptomyces somaliensis, Nocardi...

The mystical foot with pink mushrooms: Imaging of maduromycosis - a rarity in southern Africa.

Maduromycoses (Madura foot) are chronic granulomatous subcutaneous infections endemic to certain regions, but not southern Africa. The infection is caused by both pure fungi and bacteria. Imaging plays an important role in assessing the severity of disease and the direction of its spread, assisting in treatment planning and in the monitoring of treatment response. The typical 'dot-in-circle' si...
