Noma - The ulcer of extreme poverty

Article Abstract:

The disease 'Noma' derived from Greek word 'nemo', meaning 'to graze' peaks at one to four years of age, although late stages occur in adolescents and adults. There are no accurate epidemiologic data as noma occurs predominantly in poor communities that do not keep health records and frequently have nomadic lifestyle.
