Abstract
Two cases of Madura foot which originated in the Middle East are described. This so-called maduramycosis is a chronic progressive infection caused by thread fungi or actinomycetes. The diagnosis is confirmed when the grains of mycetoplaits are demonstrated in the discharge from a sinus. Clinical findings and treatment are discussed. Medical treatment may be needed for several months, but operation is indicated for infections caused by the true fungi (eumycetoma).Entities:
