AB  - Buruli ulcer is a chronic and infectious skin disease, caused by Mycobacterium 
      ulcerans. It leads to large skin ulceration and sometimes bone infection which is 
      responsible for deformities. Here, we report a case of multifocal form of Buruli 
      ulcer associated with secondary infection in a 46-year-old human immunodeficiency 
      virus (HIV) positive woman. The antimycobacterial drugs combined to surgery 
      allowed curing this multifocal case and rose up two relevant issues: the 
      susceptibility of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) occurrence 
      and Mycobacterium dissemination. The deep immune depression, the underline 
      biological, and clinical disorders of the patient might contribute to IRIS 
      occurrence and Buruli ulcer dissemination. Future investigations have to be 
      conducted on the mechanism of IRIS on set and on Mycobacterium ulcerans 
      dissemination after ARV drugs initiation and the patient related underline 
      clinical or biological disorders.
