Left Foot AP-OThere is sclerosis of the visualized metatarsals and 1st proximal phalanx with small areas of lucencies. This may suggest osteomyelitis. There is soft tissue swelling and multiple soft tissue nodularities.

SCLEROSIS WITH AREAS OF LUCENCIES

SOFT TISSUE NODULARITIES

SOFT TISSUE SWELLING

COURSE IN THE WARD• Oxacillin 1g TIV q4

• Shifted to: Ampicillin 1g IV q8 + Gentamycin 7mg/kg/day

• Levofloxacin 750mg tab OD was added

Debridement and curettage was done.

TREATMENT

• GSCS of wound: no growth after 5 days of incubation

• Tissue biopsy: revealed fibroconnective tissue containing numerous grayish-blue granules surrounded by abscess. Histopathologic diagnosis consistent with mycetoma.

TREATMENT:• Trimethroprim-Sulfamethoxazole 800/160mg/tab BID x 3

months • Streptomycin (14mg/kg/day) 700mg IM OD x 1 month,

then 3x/week for the next 2 months

After 1 week of treatment…

ON FOLLOW UP…

• At the OPD…• (+) hypersensitivity to

trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole dose was adjusted and eventually discontinued.

Hypersensitivity to trimetophrim-sulfamethoxazole

On follow up…

• The patient has been followed up for the next four weeks without evidence of recurrence.

On follow up… 4 weeks after initiation of treatment.

FINAL DIAGNOSIS:

MADURA FOOT, LEFT

MYCETOMA• A chronic progressive granulomatous infection of the

skin and subcutaneous tissue • most often affecting the lower extremities typically a

single foot• TRIAD OF SYMPTOMS:

• localized swelling, • underlying sinus tracts, • production of grains or granules (comprised of

aggregations of the causative organism) within the sinus tracts

MYCETOMA

Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett's Principles and Practice of infectious Diseases, 7th ed.

EPIDEMIOLOGY• Most commonly found in tropical and subtropical

climates, • One of the largest current group of cases is in Sudan• 5:1 male to female ratio• 20-40 year old age range• More common in agricultural workers and outdoor

laborers• M. mycetomatis: Most common cause• Drier regions: A. madurae, M. mycetomatis, S.

somaliensis• Wet regions: P. boydii, Nocardia, A. pelletieri

Mendell, Douglas, and Bennett's Principles and Practice of infectious Diseases, 7th ed.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS• 75%: lower extremities foot (70%)

single, small lesion, painless subcutaneous nodule

increases in size

becomes fixed to the underlying tissue

sinus tracts formation

open to surface drain purulent material with grains


• Overlying skin appears smooth and shiny

• Skin may be hyper or hypopigmented

• Swelling is firm and nontender

• Extensive local damage may lead to muscle wasting, bone destruction and limb deformities

• No signs or symptoms of systemic illness.


DIAGNOSIS:CLASSIC TRIAD

Painless soft tissue swelling

Draining sinus tracts

Extrusion of grains

DIAGNOSIS

• Deep biopsy with histopathology and culture is usually not necessary, although deep tissue biopsy avoids the bacterial contamination of surface cultures.

• Alternative strategy: aspiration of grains directly from an unopened sinus tract for microscopic observation and culture to diagnose the specific cause of mycetoma


MICROSCOPIC DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN ACTINOMYCETOMA vs EUMYCETOMA

• Actinomycetes have granules of about 100 µm in diameter, with delicate, branched filaments measuring about 1 µm in diameter.

• fungal grains are observed as a mass of hyphae embedded in intercellular cement, and the filaments are wider than 1 µm.


DIAGNOSIS: ROLE OF RADIOLOGY• Important in: assessment of disease extent, bone

involvement, and long term follow up of disease regression and or progression.

• ULTRASONOGRAPHY:• EUMYCETOMA : produce single or multiple thick-

walled cavities, without acoustic enhancement, with grains represented as distinct hyperreflective echoes

• ACTINOMYCETOMA: grains produced fine echoes that were found at the bottom of the cavities


DIAGNOSIS:• MAGNETIC

RESONANCE IMAGING• “dot-in-circle” sign

• CT SCAN• Sensitive for detecting

early changes consistent with bone involvement


TREATMENT: ROLE OF SURGERY• In eumycetoma, if the patient's disease

has not responded to antifungal medical treatment wide local and debulking excisions and even amputation

• In actinomycetoma: amputation is infrequently indicated


TREATMENT: ACTINOMYCETOMA• streptomycin (14 mg/kg/day IM) is given for the first

month (and sometimes three times weekly thereafter for several months) in addition to a long course of TMP-SMX, usually one double-strength tablet (160 mg trimethoprim and 800 mg sulfamethoxazole) twice daily, or dapsone (1.5 mg/kg/day twice daily)

• Alternate regimens: • TMP-SMX + dapsone• amikacin +TMP-SMX.


TREATMENT: EUMYCETOMA

• Itraconazole (400 mg/day) or ketoconazole (200 to 400 mg/day) are considered first-line azole agents in the treatment of this disease

• Successful therapy with terbinafine, an allylamine antifungal, has also been reported
