Occupationally Acquired American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
WE REPORT TWO OCCUPATIONALLY ACQUIRED CASES OF AMERICAN CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS (ACL): one accidental laboratory autoinoculation by contaminated needlestick while handling an ACL lesion sample, and one acquired during field studies on bird biology. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays of patient lesions were positive for Leishmania, subgenus Viannia. One isolate was obtained by culture (from ...
متن کاملCutaneous Leishmaniasis Acquired in Jura, France

We report a patient who acquired cutaneous leishmaniasis while on holiday in Jura, France. A previ...
متن کاملComparison of different antigens for Leishmanin skin test in patients with cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Background: Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) plays an important role in resistance against leishmaniasis. Leishmanin test (Montenegro skin test) is a method in evaluation of immune system reaction against cutaneous leishmaniasis. The TDR/WHO reference Leishmanin produced by the Pasteur Institute of Iran is used worldwide. Two other antigens produced by Razi Serum Institute of Iran, Killed Leishmani...
متن کاملInterferon-γ production and Leishmanin skin test in non-healing cutaneous Leishmaniasis compared with healed individuals
Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a self-healing disease, but due to unknown causes, a few cases of CL could get a chronic or non-healing course. These cases of chronic and recurrent leishmaniasis are defined as non-healing. Objectives: Comparison of the production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and Leishmanin skin test (LST) between non-healing and healed patients of CL. Patients and ...
متن کاملComparison of leishmanin skin test and direct smear for the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an endemic disease in some parts of Iran and it has high morbidity in some areas of the country. The disease is detected by parasitological examinations including direct microscopic and culture tests. This comparative study aimed to evaluate the relationship between positivity of the leishmanin skin test (LST), microscopically examination and clinical forms of CL...
