Madura foot is a chronic infectious disease, caused by bacterial actinomycetes or by fungi. Mycetoma is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas, where it is a real public health issue. It is a rare and neglected disease in our country. The diagnosis is made by clinical picture, direct microscopic examination and histological study.The best therapeutic choice is surgical removal of the lesion, followed by medical treatment. An earlier diagnosis and treatment can elicit good results. We report a case of eumycetoma in a 33 yearold Moroccan man, rural worker, treated by Ketoconazole in 12 months, associated with surgical debridement. The evolution was marked by the complete remission of the infection. ª 2014 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.

Mycétome osseux métatarsien: à propos d’un cas

et al. 2011

L'actinomycose osseuse ou mycétome osseux est un processus pathologique d'origine infectieuse causé par un agent fongique ou actinomycosique, donnant un aspect pseudotumoral. L'évolution est insidieuse ; la localisation au niveau du pied est de loin la plus fréquente ; l'atteinte osseuse est une complication qui alourdit la prise en charge thérapeutique. Nous rapportons l'observation d'un jeune homme de 26 ans, admis pour ostéite mycétomique du troisième métatarsien. Le geste thérapeutique a consisté en une exérèse chirurgicale associée à une antibiothérapie pendant 12 mois, l'évolution a été favorable. Le but de ce travail est de rappeler cette affection rarissime, souvent méconnue par le praticien, et qui demeure une source de difficultés thérapeutiques. Pour citer cette revue : Méd. Chir. Pied 27 (2011). Mots clés Actinomycose · Pied · OstéiteAbstract Actinomycosis of bone or bone mycetoma is an infectious disease caused by a fungal or actinomycotic organism presenting as apseudo-tumour.The condition develops insidiously. It is very unusual to find this infection in the foot. Bone involvement makes medical management more difficult. We report the case of a man aged 26 years, admitted with mycetomatous osteitis of the third metatarsal. This was treated by surgical extirpation and a 12-month course of antibiotic therapy. Progress was satisfactory. The objective of this report is to draw attention to this very rare condition, which is little known by many doctors and can present therapeutic problems.
