Buruli ulcer, the third most common mycobacterial disease worldwide, rarely affects travelers and is uncommon in the United States. We report a travel-associated case imported from Australia and review 3 previous cases diagnosed and treated in the United States. The differential diagnoses for unusual chronic cutaneous ulcers and those nonresponsive to conventional therapy should include Mycobacterium ulcerans infection.
布氏杆菌溃疡是全球第三常见的分枝杆菌病,很少影响旅行者,在美国也不常见。我们报告了一例从澳大利亚输入的与旅行相关的病例,并回顾了美国之前诊断和治疗的3例病例。对于不寻常的慢性皮肤溃疡以及对传统治疗无反应的溃疡,鉴别诊断应包括溃疡分枝杆菌感染。
