Laboratory confirmation of Buruli ulcer cases in Ghana, 2008-2016

BACKGROUND: Buruli ulcer (BU), a necrotizing skin infection caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans is the third most important mycobacterial disease globally after tuberculosis and leprosy in immune competent individuals. This study reports on the retrospective analyses of microbiologically confirmed Buru...
