Maduromycosis is a mycetoma infection of the extremities. Some sources restrict the definition to infections of the foot.cite journal |author=Lorenz G, Bernhardt H |title= [Eumycetic mycetoma of the foot (maduromycosis)] |language=German |journal=Zentralblatt für allgemeine Pathologie und pathologische Anatomie |volume=130 |issue=5 |pages=363–7 |year=1985 |pmid=4096133 |doi=] cite journal |author=Campana L |title= [What is your roentgen diagnosis? Mycetoma of the foot maduromycosis, madura foot] |language=German |journal=Schweiz. Rundsch. Med. Prax. |volume=82 |issue=1 |pages=1–2 |year=1993 |pmid=8419990 |doi=]

According to MeSH, it can be caused by bacteria or fungi: [MeshName|Maduromycosis]
* 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.
