Actinomycetoma of the Elbow Following Road Traffic Injury: Importance of Early Recognition and Management

Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease characterised by chronic, progressive, granulomatous infection affecting subcutaneous tissues and potentially deeper structures. We present a case of actinomycetoma in a 29-year-old male with a clear history of antecedent trauma, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate medical management to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease characterised by chronic, progressive, granulomatous infection affecting subcutaneous tissues and potentially deeper structures. We present a case of actinomycetoma in a 29-year-old male with a clear history of antecedent trauma, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate medical management to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.
