Actinomadura madurae mycetomas.
Actinomycetomas are localised, chronic, suppurative and progressive infections of the skin, subcutaneous tissues and bones caused by aerobic actinomycetes. They are characterised by subcutaneous granulomas and abscesses with induration, formation of sinus tracts and production of granules which are the microcolonies of the causative agents.
