[Cutaneous leishmaniosis: unusual clinical manifestation].
Clinical manifestations of leishmaniasis are diverse and related to the infecting species, its relationship with the environment and the host immune response. A case of late Andean cutaneous leishmaniasis with extensive manifestation is presented. The case was confirmed through microbiological and immunological studies; identification was performed by cytochrome b gene sequencing and the specie...
متن کاملAtypical presentation of cutaneous tuberculosis and a retropharyngeal neck abscess.
A 70-year-old Asian man with noninsulin-dependent diabetes presented with a 4-month history of left-sided otitis externa and right-sided facial palsy. Physical examination of the left ear revealed a punched-out ulcerative lesion on the tragus, an edematous and inflamed external auditory canal, and a purulent nonmucoid discharge. Computed tomography of the brain and neck demonstrated a large ret...
متن کاملCoexistence of cutaneous tuberculosis (scrofuloderma) and hanseniasis-a rare presentation.
Cutaneous tuberculosis, pulmonary tuberculosis and hanseniasis are all caused by different spp. of Mycobacterium, an intracellular pathogen whose development depends on impaired cell mediated immunity. Scrofuloderma is the most common variant of cutaneous tuberculosis, which is characterized by a direct extension of the skin which overlies the infected lymph gland, bone or joint, that breaks do...
متن کاملUnusual Clinical Presentation of Cutaneous Tuberculosis Caused by Mycobacterium bovis
Cutaneous tuberculosis (CT) is rare despite the frequency of tuberculosis worldwide. CT is caused by the invasion of the skin by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and less commonly Mycobacterium bovis or bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). CT manifests a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Lupus vulgaris (LV) is the most prevalent form of CT in Tunisia and has the most widely variable presentation o...
متن کاملSynthetic Peptides as Potential Antigens for Cutaneous Leishmaniosis Diagnosis
This work's goal was to research new candidate antigens for cutaneous leishmaniosis (CL). In order to reach the goal, we used random peptide phage display libraries screened using antibodies from Leishmania braziliensis patients. After selection, three peptides (P1, P2, and P3) were synthesized using Fmoc chemistry. The peptides individually or a mixture of them (MIX) was subsequently emulsifie...
