A chronic, granulomatous infection of subcutaneous tissues, which is caused by aerobic actinomycetes resulting in tissue swelling and draining sinus tracts, is referred to as:
a. actinomycetoma.
b. infectious granulomas.
c. lymphocytoma.
d. Actinomadura.
A
Infection caused by most non–acid-fast aerobic actinomycetes is usually chronic, granulomatous lesions of the skin referred to as mycetoma. Mycetoma is an infection of subcutaneous tissues, resulting in tissue swelling and draining sinus tracts. These infections are acquired by traumatic inoculation of organisms (usually in the lower limbs) and are usually caused by fungi. If a my-cetoma is caused by an actinomycete, the infection is then called actinomycetoma.
