Severe oedematous Buruli ulcer lesion after one month of antibiotic and prednisolone treatment. This figure shows the odematous Buruli ulcer lesion of the right ankle one month after commencing antibiotics and prednisolone. It demonstrates only a small persisting area of ulceration over the ankle joint that has not increased significantly in size. The black pen lines on the skin that extend to the edges of the ulceration demonstrate that there is no induration associated with the lesion in the non-ulcerated skin.
