In Zaire, we studied 180 patients with Mycobacterium ulcerans infections and found 14 with a history of antecedent trauma at the site of the lesion (e.g., gunshot and land mine injuries, penetrating wood splinters, and scorpion stings). Two patients developed lesions following hypodermic injections. We believe that trauma is an important mode of transmitting M. ulcerans infections, or of introducing the etiologic agent into the dermis of subcutaneous tissue from superficially contaminated skin.
在扎伊尔，我们研究了180例溃疡分枝杆菌感染患者，发现其中14例在病变部位有既往创伤史（如枪伤和地雷伤、刺入的木片以及蝎子蜇伤）。2例患者在皮下注射后出现病变。我们认为，创伤是溃疡分枝杆菌感染的一种重要传播方式，或者是将病原体从皮肤表面污染处引入真皮或皮下组织的一种方式。
