ReviewThe surgical management of lesions of ulcerans infections due to Mycobacterium ulcerans, revisited.
The recommended approach to the management of ulcerans disease lesions is a combined surgical/multidrug medical approach. Small lesions may resolve spontaneously, and for other early lesions cure may be effected either by medication or simple excision alone. ⋯ It is of particular value to doctors working in more isolated areas. This approach was recommended by several authors in the 1960s, but seems to have been forgotten.
