Maduromycosis (Maduromycosis)

Maduromycosis, also known as Madura foot, is a rare but dangerous infectious disease caused by fungi of the genus Madurella, Exophiala and others. It gets its name from the fact that it most often affects the foot and lower leg, although it can affect other parts of the body.

The pathogenic fungi that cause maduromycosis live in the soil and air and can enter the body through wounds, scratches or other breaks in the skin. This disease is common in tropical and subtropical areas of the world, especially in Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. However, cases of maduromycosis have been reported in other regions.

Symptoms of maduromycosis may vary depending on the form of the disease. In some cases, the affected area may be painless, but once symptoms appear, the pain may become intense and inflammation may spread to nearby tissues, including bones and joints. In Madura foot, the affected area may be covered in ulcers that do not heal over time.

The diagnosis of maduromycosis can be difficult because symptoms may resemble other diseases such as tuberculosis or skin cancer. To confirm the diagnosis, various laboratory tests can be performed, such as mycological studies, biopsy of affected tissue, and others.

Treatment of maduromycosis depends on the severity of the disease and may include the use of antibiotics, antifungal drugs, surgery and other methods. In some cases, the disease can lead to disability or death, especially if the diagnosis is made late or if treatment is not carried out correctly.

Preventing maduromycosis can be difficult, but some steps can be taken to reduce the risk of infection. This includes wearing protective footwear and clothing when working with soil and other materials that may contain pathogenic fungi. It is also important to maintain good hygiene and seek medical attention if suspicious symptoms appear.

In conclusion, maduromycosis is a rare but dangerous disease caused by fungi of the genus Madurella, Exophiala and others. If suspicious symptoms appear, you should seek medical help to get the correct diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Maduro mycosis, better known as Madouratea, comes from the Malaysian dialect "nourh-Muṣum", meaning "foot of madurasa". He became very famous thanks to historical films such as "Legends of America", "Berdad Santilli Trilogy", etc. Although it may seem very well known, it is actually not that well studied. That is why, as the infection spreads in the Western world, there has been increased interest in this disease.

Maduro Mycosis, also known as “Standing Mycosis,” is widespread in Central and South America. Among the risk factors for the occurrence of the disease are the high prevalence of swine worms (the so-called intestinal invasion of humans by parasites of the species Trichuras suum), low level of hygiene standards and lack of disease prevention among the population, accommodation
