localized leishmania lymphadenitis (l.l.l) is a self limited clinical presentation of cutaneous leishmaniasis. microscopic findings in l.l.l are very similar to toxoplasma lymphasenitis. in all cases, an intensive microscopic search should be done for leishman bodies. in this study, we describe our microscopic findings and results of our immnohistochemical (ihc) study with a panel of monoclonal...

leishmaniasis include several clinical manifestations, mostly cutaneous, visceral and mucosal (1, 2). various species can lead to diverse clinical presentations. thus species identification contribute to proper management (3). localized leishmania lymphadenitis (lll) is a distinct entity in clinicopathologic field presenting with isolated lymphadenitis and possible cocomitant cutaneous lesion i...

BACKGROUND A rare variant of Leishmaniasis is Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis which has been occasionally reported from south-eastern parts of Iran. So far, no molecular assay has been performed for diagnosing this variety of Leishmaniasis. METHODS Nineteen lymph node paraffin blocks were collected from 1994 to 2007. Parasite load count and histopathological patterns reported on Hematoxyli...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous leishmanisis (CL) is a common disease in Iran, particularly in Kerman and Bam and Kerman province. Lymphadenitis resulting from leishmania tropica (dry type) with, or without, cutaneous lesion is rare. Localized leishmanial lymphadenitis (LLA) is a specific clinico-pathologic presentation of inflammatory changes caused by leishmanial parasites or antigen within an isolated ...

Leishmaniasis is an endemic parasitic disease in Iran. This paper reports the case of a 5-yr-old boy who presented with multiple isolated cervical lymphadenopathy for several months with no history of fever and no signs or symptoms. In an excisional lymph node biopsy, Leishmania parasites were histologically detected. Thus, leishmaniasis should be included in the differential diagnosis of isola...

BACKGROUND In Ethiopia where there is no strong surveillance system and diagnostic facilities are limited, the real burden of tuberculosis (TB) lymphadenitis is not well known. Therefore, we conducted a study to estimate the prevalence of TB lymphadenitis in Southwest Ethiopia. METHODS A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2009 in the Gilgel Gibe field r...
