Disseminated Anergic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: An Autochthonous Case in Texas and the Mexican States of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon

Abstract: The discovery of a case of disseminated anergic cutaneous leishmaniasis endogenous to Texas and the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon is of epidemiologic importance. An acquired or genetically determined defect in the immune or inflammatory systems of the patients who develop this rare form of leishmaniasis is postulated. No initial clinical response was obtained from treatment with cycloguanil pamoate (Camolar).

Leishmaniasis in southern Iran: the occurrence of all three varieties in the same area.

Abstract: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic throughout Iran, visceral leishmaniaqis has been recorded sporadically (PotrcA, 1951; GRotto, 1967), but to our knowledge mucocutaneous leishmaniasis has not been reported in Iran or in this part of the world; it is thought to occur primarily in Latin America. During the past few years several cases of kala-azar and one of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis have been observed at the Nemazi Hospital in Shiraz. An account of these observations may be of great epidemiological significance.
