Risk factors for diagnosed noma in northwest Nigeria: A case-control study, 2017
Journal
PLoS neglected tropical diseasesAbstract
Noma (cancrum oris), a neglected tropical disease, rapidly disintegrates the hard and soft tissue of the face and leads to severe disfiguration and high mortality. The disease is poorly understood. We aimed to estimate risk factors for diagnosed noma to better guide existing prevention and treatment strategies using a case-control study design.Publisher
