Leishmaniasis

A parasitic disease caused by different species of the genus <i>Leishmania</i>, transmitted through the bite of hematophagous female phlebotomine sand flies. The clinical spectrum ranges from asymptomatic to clinically overt disease which can remain localized to the skin or disseminate to the upper oral and respiratory mucous membranes or throughout the reticulo-endothelial system. Three main clinical syndromes have been described: visceral (or Kala-Azar; with fever, weight loss, hepatosplenomegaly), cutaneous, and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (cutaneous or mucocutaneous ulceration).

Pyoderma

	Given the clinical appearance of the lesion, its chronic nature and the lack of response to local care, several diagnosis were suspected: squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous leishmaniasis, pyoderma gangrenosum8230 Deep biopsy was performed showing a loss of substance revealing the chorion, without histological characters of malignancy.

	Denerolle P, White SD, Taylor TS, Vandenabeele SI. J Am Anim Hosp Assoc. 2007;43(4):215-20.
	In this report, six dogs were presented with acral lick dermatitis-like lesions from different underlying causes-namely lymphoma, an orthopedic pin, deep pyoderma, mast cell tumor, leishmaniasis, and (presumptive) sporotrichosis.

	Competitive polymerase chain reaction used to diagnose cutaneous leishmaniasis in German soldiers infected during military exercises in French Guiana.
	Bezold G, Lange M, Gethoffer K, Pillekamp H, Reindl H, Richter C, Schonian G, Weber L, Peter RU. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 2001;20(6):421-4.
	A competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by enzyme-linked-immunoassay-based verification of PCR products has been developed, which facilitated the diagnosis of leishmaniasis in two German soldiers who underwent survival training in the jungle of French Guiana and returned with therapy-resistant pyoderma-like lesions.
