Abstract

Mycobacterium ulcerans infection is an emerging disease that causes indolent, necrotizing skin lesions known as Buruli ulcer (BU) and occasional contiguous or metastatic bone lesions. Buruli ulcer is named after Buruli County in Uganda (east Africa), where an epidemic occurred in the 1960s. Today, BU is most common in central and west Africa. We describe clinical and molecular evidence for a case of BU in Kenya.

摘要

溃疡分枝杆菌感染是一种新兴疾病，可引起慢性、坏死性皮肤病变，称为布鲁里溃疡（BU），偶尔还会引起相邻或转移性骨病变。布鲁里溃疡以乌干达（东非）的布鲁里县命名，该地区在 20 世纪 60 年代发生过一次流行。如今，BU 在中非和西非最为常见。我们描述了肯尼亚一例 BU 的临床和分子证据。
