Micetoma actinomicótico por Actinomadura madurae [PDF]
Revista chilena de infectología, 2012 El micetoma es una lesión subcutánea inflamatoria granulomatosa crónica causada por hongos (eumiceto-ma) o bacterias filamentosas (actinomicetoma). Afecta a adultos entre los 20-40 años y el sitio más comúnmente afectado es el pie. La tríada característica es un aumento de volumen del tejido afectado, con trayectos sinuosos y gránulos excretados ...
