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).
本文描述了两例起源于中东地区的足分支菌病病例。这种所谓的足分支菌病是由丝状真菌或放线菌引起的慢性进行性感染。当在窦道排出物中发现真菌颗粒时，可确诊。文中讨论了临床表现和治疗方法。可能需要数月的药物治疗，但对于由真性真菌（真菌性足分支菌病）引起的感染，则需进行手术治疗。
