Natural history of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis
Abstract
The clinical picture of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is still the first step ininfection suspicion and, consequently, for its accurate diagnosis and sample obtention forparasitological confirmation. Even though leishmaniasis is the parasitic infection with thegreatest increase in the last years in Colombia, it is difficult to find in the literature photographsof its clinical manifestations and evolution. For this reason, and hoping to offer a referencearticle for health personnel dealing frequently with this pathology, a series of pictures is presentedthat summarize the clinical picture and its evolution from the incipient lesion after the bite of aLutzomyia female until the severe nasal and oral cartilaginous destruction.Downloads
