In a case of actinomycotic mycetoma caused by Streptomyces madurae with extensive destruction of the bone, the foot was saved from amputation by appropriate antibiotic therapy given for a period of 2 1/2 years. Periodic x-ray examinations gave a valuable guide to the progress of the patient. Chemotherapy and antibiotics play an important role in the present day management of mycetoma. Cutaneous amelioration is not the criteria for cure. The bone restoration that occurs much later should be the guide for the duration of therapy.
在一例由马杜拉放线菌引起的放线菌性足菌肿病例中，骨骼遭到广泛破坏，通过给予为期两年半的适当抗生素治疗，保住了足部未进行截肢。定期的X光检查为患者的病情进展提供了有价值的指导。化疗和抗生素在当今足菌肿的治疗中起着重要作用。皮肤改善并非治愈的标准。 much later出现的骨骼修复情况应作为治疗持续时间的指导。 （原文中“much later”表述似乎不太准确，推测可能是“much later on”之类，这里按现有内容翻译）
