Fine-needle aspiration, an efficient sampling technique for bacteriological dia...
Eddyani, Miriam; Fraga, Alexandra G.; Schmitt, Fernando; Uwizeye, C??cile; Fissette, Krista; Johnson, Christian; Aguiar, Julia; Sopoh, GhislainInvasive punch or incisional skin biopsy specimens are currently employed for the bacteriological confirmation of the clinical diagnosis of Buruli ulcer (BU), a cutaneous infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. The efficacy of fine-needle aspirates (FNA) using fine-gauge needles (23G by 25 mm) for the laboratory confirmation of BU was compared with that of skin tissue fragments obtained in parallel...
