[Classification and treatment of maduromycosis of the limbs].

Basing on studies of the comprehensive material comprising 344 cases of Maduromycosis (Madura foot) in Somaly Republic, its classification, grounded on the anatomical principle is given. Whereas, the currently used classifications are grounded only on the clinical principle. Investigations and experience have shown that the classification of Maduromycosis grounded just on clinical signs is but poorly suitable for surgical therapy of such patients. The anatomical principle seems to be more advantageous, since it provides an indication to localization and depth of the lesion, thus determining the character of an operative intervention.

Maduromycosis (Madura foot) in Kentucky.

The first case of proven maduromycosis originating in the state of Kentucky, and the 21st case reported in the United States, is described. The disease, which involved the foot, was caused by Monosporium apiospermum. The importance of suspecting and culturing for fungal organisms in cases of chronic or recurrent infections of the extremities is stressed. The method of treatment was experimental; whether true cure was accomplished may not be known for years. Although many fungi, including Monosporium apiospermum, are relatively resistant to all forms of chemotherapy, some types of fungi readily respond to easily administered antibiotics. Specific fungal identification by trained mycologists is important in all cases of mycetoma.

Maduromycosis of the brain. Case report.

A rare case of a gas-containing brain abscess due to verified maduromycosis is described. Blackish material over the abscess cavity revealed the fungal elements. The pus from the abscess contained Streptococcus hemolyticus and Klebsiella organisms.

[Secondary amyloidosis in amebiasis with intrathoracic complications of amebic liver abscess combined with helminthiases and maduromycosis].

One case of a secondary amyloidosis in amebiasis with intrathoracic complications of amebic liver abscesses in association with strongyloidiasis, enterobiasis, bancroftian filariasis and maduromycosis is described. It's suggested that the progression of secondary amyloidosis was due to the prolonged process of amebiasis in association with helminthiasis and mycosis.

[Eumycetic mycetoma of the foot (maduromycosis)].

An eumycetoma pedis presenting as a circumscribed nodular form of maduromycosis in a 26-year old man from the People's Republic of Yemen is described. Clinical and light microscopic aspects of this "imported" deep mycosis are discussed. Histologic finding of a septate mycel permitted characterization of the microorganism as a eumycota.

Black grain mycetoma (maduromycosis) in horses.

Black grain mycetoma occurred in two horses, one a cross-bred pony and the other a Thoroughbred racehorse. Lesions were limited to wart-like growths in one case and a deep-seated girth gall in the other. In both cases the granules in the affected tissues were similar in pigmentation and structure to those produced by Curvularia geniculata in dogs. Since all the specimens were received in formalin, the causative fungus could not be isolated. These are the first cases of maduromycosis in animals to be recorded in South Africa.

Maduromycosis (Madurella mycetomatis) in a horse.

A case of maduromycosis mycetoma caused by Madurella mycetomatis is reported. The horse presented with multiple subcutaneous swelling over the right scapula. There were no discharging fistulae present. Macroscopically the lesion contained a black granular material embedded in a granulomatous mass. Microscopically large numbers of microcolonies were present containing segmented hyphae. No typical chlamydospores were observed. Cultures yielded a fungus identified as Madurella mycetomatis. Treatment consisted of surgical excision and local treatment with thiabendazole powder.

Development of maduromycosis (Madurella mycetomi) after nailing of a closed tibial fracture: a case report.

Maduromycosis is a rare fungal infection in the northern United States, most frequently caused by Allescheria boydii, usually in debilitated or immunosuppressed patients. An 18-year-old Mexican-American, in excellent health, developed multiple draining sinuses at the sites of insertion of Ender nails for a closed tibial fracture. Madurella mycetomi was cultured from black granules in a biopsy specimen. The source of fungal infection remained unknown, although it probably did not occur during the surgical procedure. Since no specific antibiotic treatment is available, it is possible that with progression of the infection, amputation may be necessary in the future.
