Tropical leg lymphedema caused by podoconiosis is associated with increased colonisation by anaerobic bacteria

Abstract The non-filarial and non-communicable disease podoconiosis affects around 4 million people and is characterized by severe leg lymphedema accompanied with painful intermittent acute inflammatory episodes, called acute dermatolymphangioadenitis (ADLA) attacks. Risk factors have been associate...
