Actinomycetoma is a term for a chronic subcutaneous infection caused by fungi or Actinomyces that affect the skin and connective tissue. Once pathological analysis and/or culturing is performed and the causal organism is identified, it is more appropriate to use the following terms: Actinomycosis for the bacterial form.
Actinomyces are known for causing disease in humans, and for the important role they play in soil ecology. They produce a number of enzymes that help degrade organic plant material, lignin, and chitin. As such, their presence is important in the formation of compost.nother form of actinomycosis is thoracic disease, which is often misdiagnosed as a neoplasm, as it forms a mass that extends to the chest wall. It arises from aspiration of organisms from the oropharynx. Symptoms include chest pain, fever, and weight loss. Abdominal disease is another manifestation of actinomycosis.
