Buruli Ulcer in South Western Nigeria: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Patients Treated in Benin

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, Volume 9, No. 1, Year 2015

Nigeria is known to be endemic to Buruli ulcer, but epidemiological data are remarkably rare. Here, we present a large cohort of 127 PCR-confirmed M. ulcerans infection patients coming from Nigeria and treated in a neighbouring country, Benin. Severe lesions and delay of consultation are factors that should encourage establishment of a treatment centre in South Western Nigeria.
