A case report: Navigating chronic Actinomyces (“Madura foot”) infection in a 36-year-old patient - A surgical dilemma and long-term strategy
Actinomyces infections are rare but can lead to severe complications if not promptly diagnosed and treated. We present a case of a 36-year-old male from Yemen who developed an Actinomyces infection in his right foot. Despite initial antibiotic treatment, the infection persisted, necessitating surgical intervention twice. This case underscores the importance of considering Actinomyces infections in patients with chronic non-healing wounds, particularly in regions where such infections are prevalent.
