Abstract:Transmission routes of Mycobacterium ulcerans to humans are not clear, but the predominance of long-term travellers and migrants in imported cases reflect possible prolonged exposures to specific factors in rural environments. Buruli ulcer should always be considered in cases of non-healing ulcers, even if other infectious agents are identified initially.
