We conducted a case-control study to investigate the association between Buruli ulcer (BU) and environmental- and health-related behaviors in southern Benin. Hospital BU cases (N = 324) and sex- and age-matched neighborhood controls (N = 1,173) answered a questionnaire. Regular use of soap for washing, treating injuries with soap or antibiotic powder, and frequent contact with flowing water appeared protective against BU.
我们开展了一项病例对照研究,以调查贝宁南部布鲁里溃疡(BU)与环境及健康相关行为之间的关联。医院中的BU病例(N = 324)以及性别和年龄匹配的社区对照(N = 1,173)回答了一份问卷。经常使用肥皂清洗、用肥皂或抗生素粉末处理伤口以及频繁接触流动水似乎对预防BU具有保护作用。
