LEISHMANIASIS RECIDIVA CUTIS IN AMERICAN CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS

International Journal of Dermatology, 1993
Abstract Background. Leishmaniasis recidiva cutis (LRC) consists of active lesions around or inside the scar of classical cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). In the literature it is considered as an hyperergic form of CL because the patients show a strong response to intradermal testing with leishmania antigen and, histologically, the parasites are scarce or

American cutaneous leishmaniasis in infancy and childhood

International Journal of Dermatology, 2017
AbstractInfant and young child skin diseases are among the most common features of morbidity throughout the tropics. Because the skin is directly exposed to the environment, it is considerably affected by climatic and local conditions such as vectors and microorganisms, as in the case of leishmaniasis.

The clinical and immunological spectrum of American cutaneous leishmaniasis

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1993
American cutaneous leishmaniasis is characterized by a spectrum of clinical manifestations. These include localized, often self-healing single lesions, intermediate forms which frequently produce mucosal lesions and often show exaggerated delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), and the rare diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis in which no reaction of ...

Serological Patterns and Specificity in American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988
Sera from diverse clinical forms of American cutaneous leishmaniasis show remarkably different patterns of reactivity to Leishmania mexicana and L. braziliensis after absorption with these two species of Leishmania. The enhanced species specificity of absorbed sera was confirmed by reactions with well characterized reference strains.
