Cutaneous lupoid leishmaniasis: a case report.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a disease transmitted by the sandfly. During the course of the disease, all classical stages of the development of leishmaniasis from small erythematous papules to nodules to ulcerative lesions can be seen. We report a case of lupoid leishmaniasis (LL) treated with daily intramuscular injections of meglumine antimoniate for 20 days with marked improvement of clinical features.
