| Resumen : | Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis is a widespread and potentially disfiguring protozoal infection that is
endemic in the Mediterranean basin, Africa, and parts of Asia. Human infection is caused by several species
of Leishmania parasites, such as Leishmania infantum. Available systemic and topical treatments vary in
efficacy and are often unjustified due to their toxicity. We report on a case that was treated with posaconazole,
a drug typically considered an antifungal agent but which also targets specific metabolic pathways of the
parasite. |
