- Buruli_ulcer abstract "Buruli ulcer (also known as the Bairnsdale ulcer, Searls ulcer, or Daintree ulcer) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. Early the infection is characterised by a painless nodule or area of swelling. This then may turn into an ulcer. The ulcer may be larger inside than at the level of the skin and may be surrounded by swelling. Sometimes bone may become involved, as the disease worsens. It most commonly affects the arms or legs. Fever is uncommon.M. ulcerans releases a toxin known as mycolactone, which decreases immune system function and results in tissue death. Bacteria from the same family also cause tuberculosis and leprosy (M. tuberculosis and M. leprae, respectively). It is unclear how the disease is spread. Sources of water are believed to be involved. As of 2013 there is no effective vaccine.If treated early, antibiotics for eight weeks are effective in 80% of people. This often includes the medications rifampicin and streptomycin. Clarithromycin or moxifloxacin are sometimes used instead of streptomycin. Other treatments may include cutting out the ulcer. There is typically a scar in the area of the infection following healing.It occurs most commonly in rural sub-Saharan Africa especially Cote d'Ivoire, but may also occur in Asia, the Western Pacific and the Americas. Cases occur in more than 32 countries. There are about five to six thousand cases a year. The disease occurs in a number of other animals other than humans. It was first described by Albert Ruskin Cook in 1897.".
