Abstract

Madura foot is a rare, loca, chronic granulomatous skin infection which commonly affects the adult male foot. Medical treatment reduces the size of the lesion but surgical excision is necessary for radical treatment. We present a case of a 59 year old male farmer diagnosed as actinomadura of the right foot treated with medical treatment, total excision, negative pressure wound therapy and split thickness skin graft. Turkish Başlık: Madura Ayağı Tedavisinde Negatif Basınçlı Yara Tedavisi ve Cilt Grefti. Olgu Sunumu ve Literatürün Gözden Geçirilmesi Anahtar Kelimeler: Madura ayağı, negatif basınçlı yara tedavisi, bölünmüş kat deri grefti Madura ayağı nadir görülen genellikle erişkin erkekleri etkileyen lokal kronik granulomatoz bir deri enfeksiyonudur. Medikal tedavi lezyonların küçülmesine sebep olur ancak radikal tedavi için cerrahi eksizyon gereklidir. Biz sağ ayağında aktinomadura tanısı ile medikal tedavi, total eksizyon, negatif basınçlı yara tedavisi ve ardından bölünmüş kat deri grefti ile tedavi edilen 59 yaşında erkek çiftçi hasta sunduk.
