摘要：

We describe a case of Buruli ulcer diagnosed by tissue culture and PCR in a Caucasian male returning from Madagascar where he served as a health-care worker in the Antsiranana region. To the best of our knowledge, this could be the first case of Mycobacterium ulcerans infection reported in Madagascar.
