摘要：
Actinomycetoma is chronic, suppurative, granulomatous infection caused by bacteria and requires prolonged antibiotic therapy preferrably in combinations. Nephrotoxicity is a common side effect of aminoglycosides used in the management of actinomycetoma. We report here two cases of actinomycetoma due to Nocardia species who received linezolid as a substitute to aminoglycosides after developing nephrotoxicity.
