  title = {Occlusive hydrocolloid dressings applied to chronic neuropathic ulcers. A study of efficacy in patients at a rural South Indian Hospital.},
  abstract = {<p>The response of 47 chronic ulcers (41 neuropathic [leprosy], 3 stasis, 1 traumatic, and 2 of unknown etiology) to hydrocolloid occlusive dressings was evaluated at a rural south Indian hospital. The response to treatment was objectively evaluated by photographic estimation of the surface areas of the ulcers. Eight ulcers healed over the 2 months of the study, and all but one ulcer improved. This type of dressing may have a valuable role in the management of chronic ulcers in the tropics, particularly those due to leprosy.</p>},
