Severe oedematous Buruli ulcer lesion after six days of antibiotic and prednisolone treatment. This figure shows the odematous Buruli ulcer lesion of the right ankle six days after commencing antibiotics and prednisolone. The central area of ulceration remains unchanged in size, but the total area of induration associated with the lesion has reduced by 88% to 3.0cm2 (7.5cm diameter in a horizontal pane and 4.0cm diameter in a vertical plane). The black pen lines on the skin show the reduction in size of the induration in the vertical plane.
