Persistence of <i>L. V. braziliensis</i> in the Nasal Mucosa of Treated Patients. [PDF]

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an infectious disease that most frequently affects neglected populations. Besides its incidence, a high disease burden is associated with the possibility of mucosal sequelae. Clinical follow-up of these patients is difficult due to the limited access of the affected population to healthcare and the long

Chlorin E6 phototoxicity in L. major and L. braziliensis promastigotes—In vitro study

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2016
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a zoonosis caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. Conventional treatments are long and aggressive, and they trigger a diversity of side effects. Photodynamic Therapy was originally proposed as a treatment for cancer, and it now appears to be a promising therapy for local treatment with fewer side effects of infectious ...

Simultaneous Infection with Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and L. (V.) lainsoni in a Peruvian Patient with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013
Conventional understanding suggests that simultaneous infection with more than one species of Leishmania is unlikely. In Peru, co-infections are clinically relevant because causative species dictates prognosis, treatment response, and follow-up. We describe a case of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and L.

Tegumentary leishmaniasis by Leishmania braziliensis complex in Cochabamba, Bolivia including the presence of L. braziliensis outlier

, 2021
Leishmaniasis is caused by protozoans of the Leishmania genus, which includes more than 20 species capable of infecting humans worldwide. In the Americas, the most widespread specie is L. braziliensis, present in 18 countries including Bolivia. The taxonomic position of the L.
