PCR-ELISA for diagnosis of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis

Acta Tropica, 1999
In this work we demonstrate that the PCR-ELISA technique is sufficiently sensitive and specific for use as a diagnostic test in cases of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. DNA was extracted from cultures of Leishmania braziliensis, Leishmania infantum, Leishmania tropica, Leishmania mexicana, Trypanosoma cruzi, and blood samples from individuals who ...

Cutaneous and Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2012
Tegumentary leishmaniases are caused by approximately 15 species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. They prevail in tropical and subtropical areas of the Old and New World but human mobility also makes them a medical problem in nonendemic areas. Clinical manifestations may comprise cutaneous and mucocutaneous forms that may be localized, disseminated,

Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis and HIV

Dermatology, 2009
Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is a rare disease in Europe. Relapses after treatment are more frequent than in visceral leishmaniasis. HIV patients infected by Leishmania have frequently visceral involvement, and responses to treatment are poor. Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in HIV-infected patients has rarely been reported.

American Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis

Southern Medical Journal, 1977
Presented is a well-documented, autochthonous case of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, a protozoan disease endemic to Asia, Africa, Southern Europe, South America, and Central America, which until recently was not found in North America. Diagnosis is made by positive culture on NNN media, positive serodiagnosis, positive Montenegro skin test, the presence ...

Imported mucocutaneous leishmaniasis

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 1996
We report a case of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in a otherwise fit Caucasian man who had traveled in an endemic area. Initial tissue microscopy failed to identify the causative organism, which was only determined by subsequent culture as Leishmania braziliensis.

Deforming Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis of the Nose

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2017
The authors present a clinical report of deforming mucocutaneous leishmaniasis of the nose in a native American woman, left untreated for 25 years. The nose was reconstructed using the local tissue displaced as flaps, and using cartilage grafts taken from the nasal septum and the ear shell.

Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in a US citizen

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2003
Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) is endemic to many areas of Central and South America. A case of MCL in a US citizen is reported here. An ulcer appeared on the patient's left hard palate, years after a working trip to Peru. Punch biopsies of the lesion were obtained, Leishmania promastigotes were isolated by culture and animal inoculation, and the ...

American Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis

Dermatologic Clinics, 1994
American mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is produced by several species of Leishmania. The microorganism lives in jungle reservoirs and is transmitted by sandflies. After infection, a complex set of immunologic phenomena takes place. Most lesions tend to heal, but some clinical forms are relentlessly progressive and resistant to available therapy ...

Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis and AIDS: case report

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1993
In Perd tegumentary leishmaniases are endemic, more than 5000 new cases per year being reported by the Ministry of Health, although the estimated real incidence is three times as great, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and the reported incidence of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are increasing.
