Mycetoma is a chronic infection that develops after traumatic inoculation of the skin with either true fungi or aerobic actinomycetes. The resultant infections are known as eumycetoma or actinomycetoma, respectively. Although actinomycetoma is rare in developed countries, migration of patients from endemic areas makes knowledge of this condition crucial for dermatologists worldwide. We present a review of the current concepts in the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of actinomycetoma.
足菌肿是一种慢性感染，由皮肤受到真性真菌或需氧放线菌的创伤性接种后发展而来。由此产生的感染分别称为真菌性足菌肿或放线菌性足菌肿。尽管放线菌性足菌肿在发达国家很少见，但来自流行地区的患者迁移使得全球皮肤科医生了解这种疾病至关重要。我们对放线菌性足菌肿的流行病学、临床表现、诊断和治疗的当前概念进行综述。
