MYCETOMA OR MADURA FOOT: TWO CASE STUDIES REPORT

Abstract

Mycetoma is a dangerous sickness since it is a chronic granulomatous disease that develops with time and has the potential to inflict severe harm. This makes it a high-risk condition. It has an effect not only on the skin but also on the subcutaneous and connective tissues, as well as on the skeletal muscles, and it does so independently of the skin. It is a disorder that is noticed electively at the podal level, which is where it receives its name, "Madura foot," and its aetiology may be an infection caused by fungus or bacteria. The ailment is referred to as "Madura foot." Although they are common in tropical and subtropical climes, you will not find many of them in Morocco since the temperature there is more temperate. The clinical diagnosis of polyfistulized edoema of the dorsum of the foot was established in both instances that we present here, and it was subsequently confirmed by an anatomopathological study.
