Description
Eumycetoma is, at present, treated only by surgery which is amputation at times and mutilating excision at others. Surgical treatment is often followed by local, or rarely distant recurrence to regional lymph nodes and surrounding tissue. The results of the clinical trial with ketoconazole reported in this paper show that five of 13 patients were completely cured and four improved. It is worth noting that the daily dose for those cured was 400 or 300 mg while those who improved were on only 200 mg/day. © 1984 Oxford University Press.
