title: [Treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis with CO2 laser radiation].
abstract: This paper deals with the cases of 10 patients with different clinical forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis, who were exposed to a single CO2 laser rays. They were evolutively evaluated up to two years after treatment, without relapsing in any case. Total cure of the lesion occurred without side-effects. The method described for the treatment of this disease is recommended, whenever its application should be possible instead of the other methods described in the literature.
