title: [Buruli ulcer: an exported pathology].
abstract: METHODS
  A nine-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast was admitted to hospital because of extremely serious Buruli ulcers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Surgery is the only treatment available. Moreover, the surgical excision has to be wide; both open and closed wounds have to be removed to give significant improvements.
