Canine leishmaniasis is endemic in Corsica. Sporadic cases of visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum have been reported in humans, but no case of cutaneous leishmaniasis has been reported to date. In August 1994, a 42-year-old woman living in Orleans (France) presented with two nodular lesions on the face. These lesions appeared two months after a stay near the Gulf of Ajaccio in Corsica. Histopathological examination revealed intracellular amastigotes. The culture isolate was identified as Leishmania infantum zymodeme MON-29. Epidemiological data and climatic conditions prevailing during the patient's stay suggest that contamination took place in Corsica.
犬利什曼病在科西嘉岛呈地方性流行。有报告称人类偶发因婴儿利什曼原虫引起的内脏利什曼病病例，但迄今为止尚无皮肤利什曼病病例报告。1994年8月，一名居住在法国奥尔良的42岁女性面部出现了两处结节性病变。这些病变在她于科西嘉岛阿雅克肖湾附近停留两个月后出现。组织病理学检查发现细胞内无鞭毛体。培养分离物被鉴定为婴儿利什曼原虫酶谱型MON - 29。患者停留期间的流行病学数据和当时的气候条件表明感染发生在科西嘉岛。
