Résumé

L'auteur expose quelques points de vue et considérations sur les mycétomes. On considère le terme de mycétome comme inadéquat et propose son remplacement par celui degranose, c'est-à-dire affection à formation de grains. On estime que les agents des mycétomes se divisent en deux groupes:spécifiques (qui provoquent uniquement des mycétomes) etnon-spécifiques (qui produisent également d'autres tableaux cliniques). On procède à une mise au point de la conception actuelle sur l'origine saprophytique des mycétomes. On débat de problèmes actuels de pathogénie, de diagnostic, de pronostic et de traitement.

Summary

Instead of “mycetoma” the term ofgranosis (affection with “grain” formation) is suggested.

In the author's opinion, the causative organisms of mycetoma may be divided in 2 groups:specific agents (causing exclusively mycetoma) andnot specific agents (producing also other clinical pictures). An up to date view on the actual opinions concerning the saprophytic origine of mycetoma is presented. Present state of the pathogenicity, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of this disease are discussed.
