RESUMEN
Mycetoma is a chronic-granulomatous disease characterized by the inflammation, swollen organ, draining sinuses containing blood, pus, and grains. We present a case of madura foot with novel etiologic agent Madurella pseudomycetomatis. Diagnosis was based on morphologic, physiologic, histipathologic and molecular methods. In vitro antifungal susceptibility tests revealed that MIC values for itraconazole, amphotericin B, and posaconazole were 0.0313 µg/ml, 0.0313⯵g/ml, and 0.004 µg/ml, respectively. The patient was treated and recovered by itraconazole(400 mg/day) after prolonged course.
