KRAL, Alejandro et al. Plantar actinomycetoma in a patient without risk factors. Rev. chil. infectol. [online]. 2019, vol.36, n.4, pp.531-535. ISSN 0716-1018.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0716-10182019000400531.

A case of plantar actinomycetoma without risk factors is presented, which was diagnosed by hystopatological analysis of a foot biopsy because of the suspicion of neoplasia. Since the patient did not fully respond to the first-line therapy antibiotics, a 24-weeks doxycycline regime was started, achieving a satisfactory response. Finally, a brief discussion on plantar mycetomas is presented.
