Paul Arkell, Tanizio E. Florindo, Rob Baird, Christopher Babua

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

A woman in her early 20s presented with skin ulcers and swellings on her neck, right axilla, and chest, which had gradually worsened over six months. Her presentation was delayed because she was anxious about receiving medical care, and travel to the clinic was difficult and costly.
