To investigate wound healing evolution in Buruli ulcer after receiving traditional treatment conducted in three centers in Côte d'Ivoire. Selection of some plants used by patients to treat ulcers caused by Mycobacterum ulcerans. We then compared their ulcer healing effects. 78% (273 people) of patients used medicinal plants to treat their wounds. 219 people (80%) had their wounds healed, 41 people (15%) had ulcer wound stabilized and 5% (13 people) have felt no effect after treatment. This study will help find a cure for Buruli ulcer, which is a real public health problem in Côte d'Ivoire.
