		It was thought to be a manifestation of tuberculosis: the name "Madura foot" followed the first description in 1846 of four cases in Madras, followed in 1859 by another 40 cases from the same area.
		Madura foot is, strictly, only one form of mycetoma: a true eumycetoma localized to the foot.
		Even now, however, Madura foot is not an accurate nomenclature because it describes but one type of mycetoma and, of course, does not only occur in Madras: more over, mycetomas do not only occur in the foot.

		The actinomycotic mycetoma is caused by aerobic actinomycetes such as Nocardia brasilensis and Streptomycetes madurae while the mycotic group are caused by true fungi such as Madurella mycetomii.
		It was first described by Gill in Madura, India and hence the expression “Madura Foot”.
		The foot is the most commonly infected region, followed by the hand and retroperitoneum(3).

	Actinomadura Species
		It is one of the common causes of actinomycotic mycetoma (maduramycosis or madura foot), characterized by formation of granules containing branched filaments.
		Since mycetoma may be caused by several different fungi or aerobic actinomycetes, identification of the causative agent and differentiation of eumycotic mycetoma from actinomycotic mycetoma constitute the major points in application of appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
		While Actinomadura madurae is usually suceptible to a combination of streptomycin and dapsone, Actinomadura pelletieri responds better to a combination of streptomycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
