Maduromycosis
ICD-10	B 47.0
ICD-9	039.9, 117.4
DiseasesDB	8472
MeSH	D008271

Maduromycosis is a mycetoma infection of the extremities. Some sources restrict the definition to infections of the foot.^[1]^[2]

According to MeSH, it can be caused by bacteria or fungi:^[3]

The fungal type is caused by Exophiala jeanselmei.
The bacterial type is caused by Nocardia brasiliensis, of the Actinobacteria phylum.

However, according to ICD-10, "Maduromycosis" is classified at B47.0, under Eumycetoma (fungal), while B47.1 is reserved for Actinomycetoma, and B47.9 for "Mycetoma, unspecified", implying that the ICD-10 definition excludes a bacterial cause.
