Tropical ulcer is a disease found most commonly in the tropics, although the disease is not confined to those areas. Young children are affected most frequently and the disease is thought to be a polymicrobial infection with fusobacteria, aerobic microorganisms and spirochaetes each playing a role. The fusobacteria have been reported on smears but have not been cultured thus far. We report the isolation and culture of these organisms from 46 ulcers and have also demonstrated the same organisms in skin biopsies from these lesions.
热带溃疡是一种最常见于热带地区的疾病，不过该疾病并不局限于这些地区。幼儿最常受到影响，这种疾病被认为是一种多微生物感染，其中梭杆菌、需氧微生物和螺旋体都发挥了作用。梭杆菌已在涂片上被发现，但迄今为止尚未培养成功。我们报告了从46例溃疡中分离并培养出这些微生物，并且在这些病变的皮肤活检中也证实了同样的微生物。
