Abstract

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by intracellular parasitic protozoan species. Leishmaniasis can be classified as old world and new world. The clinical form seen in Central and South America is called New World Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL). The clinical form, most commonly seen in the Middle East, Southern Europe, Southwest Asia and Africa is called Old World CL. A 34-year-old male patient applied to the dermatology clinic due to crusty wounds located on his right leg and right hand. Dermatological examination revealed several erythematous plaques with hemorrhagic crusts, 2x3 cm in size, raised from the skin in the right tibial region, and a purplish erythematous plaque with a sharply circumscribed skin crusted in the dorsolateral of the right hand. Amastigote forms of leishmania were detected by Giemsa staining. The patient, was planned to be injected with 2 ml meglumine antimoniate twice a week for four weeks.
