title: Cutaneous leishmaniasis in an infant.
abstract: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the United States is unusual. We report an infant who developed CL after returning from an endemic area. A skin biopsy yielded Leishmania organisms within 48 hours. The cutaneous lesions resolved with scarring after several months.
