[Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in Huesca. Epidemiologic aspects].
The authors present a study of twelve children affected with leishmaniasis, observed in the province of Huesca (Spain). Three of the patients presented visceral form and the other nine cutaneous form. The clinical, evolutive and therapeutic aspects of this disease are analyzed, with special reference to the epidemiological aspects, since the incidence has been found to be high in an area in which the disease is not considered endemic.
