We evaluated a 48-year-old woman who had presented with a severely edematous neck, fever, dysphagia, odynophagia, and difficulty breathing.
One or more of the following features suggested by WHO were used to diagnose BU (1): typical nodular, indurated plaque or edematous lesion; [greater than or equal to] 1 painless chronic ulcers with undermined edges or a depressed scar; swelling over a painful joint, suggesting bone involvement; slowly developing lesion (weeks or months); no fever or regional lymphadenopathy; and residence or travel in a zone endemic for BU.
Concurrent inflammation and edematous injury are observed under these study conditions.
