Abstract
Mycetoma/madura foot is a chronic suppurative granulomatous disease characterized by localized subcutaneous swelling with multiple sinus tracts discharging granules. 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, Nocardia species [1].
