Analysis of an IS2404-Based Nested PCR for Diagnosis of Buruli Ulcer Disease in Regions of Ghana Where the Disease Is Endemic

Mycobacterium ulcerans causes Buruli ulcer disease (BUD), an ulcerative skin disease emerging mainly in West Africa. Laboratory confirmation of BUD is complicated as no “gold standard” for diagnosis exists. A nested primer PCR based on IS2404 has shown promise as a diagnostic assay. We evaluated the...
