Description
Mycetoma is a chronic infection of the skin and underlying tissues caused by fungi or bacteria. It is endemic to tropical regions, mainly affecting men, peasants, between the third and fourth decade of life. The clinical picture is characterized by increased volume, deformity of the anatomical area, and fistulas that drain a stringy exudate with the presence of "pimples." The diagnosis and determination of the etiological agent is carried out by direct analysis and culture of the secretion.
