title: Generalized Leishmanides in an Immunodeprived Man.
abstract: Leishmanides have been rarely reported in the literature. In this study, the authors present a case of a 50-year-old HIV-positive man who developed a generalized cutaneous eruption of papules and plaques in which no microorganism was demonstrated by culture, microscopical examination, immunohistochemistry, or polymerase chain reaction. The patient was eventually diagnosed with laryngeal leishmaniasis, and when treated, the cutaneous lesions greatly improved.
