title: [Occurrence of American tegumentary leishmaniasis in the Mato Grosso do Sul State associated to the infection for Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis].
abstract: Nine cases of American tegumentary leishmaniasis were reported at a Training Military Unit located in Bela Vista City, State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Parasites obtained from lesions of six patients were isolated in culture media followed by identification, through isoenzymes analysis, as being Leishmania amazonensis. This is the first evidence of the presence of the parasite in Mato Grosso do Sul.
