Topical pentostam in an attempt to produce more rapid healing of skin ulcers due to Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis.
We have already described the course of skin ulcers due to this parasite after intralesional Glucantime1. Because there appeared to be a slight response over 30 days we have extended our observations to the use of two topical preparations of Pentostam. These are the solution of Pentostam (Wellcome) inoculated intralesionally and Pentostam powder mixed with Aquaphor in the form of a cream. Once ...
متن کاملPlants used in the treatment of leishmanial ulcers due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis in an endemic area of Bahia, Brazil.
This paper records the plants used in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis (L(V)b) among the rural population of a cocoa-producing coastal area of Bahia state, Brazil.

Leishmania species of the subgenus Viannia and especially Leishmania braziliensis are responsible for a large proportion of New World leishmaniasis cases. The reproductive mode of Leishmania species has often been assumed to be predominantly clonal, but remains unsettled.

Its clinical features include one or more plaques made up of papules and pseudo-vesicles, which conform to a lineal pattern, as well as satellite lesions that affect one or more dermatomes, without crossing the median line. We present three zosteriform cutaneous leishmaniasis cas...
متن کاملAnalysis of the specificity of human antibodies to antigens of Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis.
The antigenicity of promastigotes of Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis (L. b. braziliensis) treated with 1% sodium desoxycholate in 10 mM Tris-Hcl pH 8.2 was analysed by immunoblot using as probes sera from American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL), American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL), schistosomiasis, malaria and Chagas' disease. The ACL sera reacted constantly with a 60 kD band. No reactivi...
