Abstract

Mycobacterium ulcerans is a slow-growing environmental bacterium that causes Buruli ulcer (also known as Bairnsdale ulcer in Victoria and Daintree ulcer in northern Queensland). We describe two patients with laboratory-confirmed Buruli ulcer who were infected either in New South Wales or overseas. A molecular epidemiological investigation demonstrated that, while one case was probably acquired in Papua New Guinea, the other was most likely to have been acquired in southern NSW. To our knowledge, this is the first case of M. ulcerans infection acquired in NSW.

摘要

溃疡分枝杆菌是一种生长缓慢的环境细菌，可引起布鲁里溃疡（在维多利亚州也称为拜恩斯代尔溃疡，在昆士兰州北部称为戴恩特里溃疡）。我们描述了两名经实验室确诊为布鲁里溃疡的患者，他们分别在新南威尔士州或海外感染。分子流行病学调查表明，其中一例可能在巴布亚新几内亚感染，另一例很可能在新南威尔士州南部感染。据我们所知，这是新南威尔士州首例溃疡分枝杆菌感染病例。
