Abstract
Results of ambulatory treatment of tropical ulcers with neoarsphenamine and bismuth injections and the occlusive adhesive strip dressing are described. There were twelve failures and twelve recurrences in our series of 205 cases. The method appears valuable because hospitalization can be dispensed with, the number of dressings is minimized, and a large percentage of relatively rapid healing (average duration 42 days) is achieved—three important factors in busy field dispensaries with inadequate hospital facilities.
