Existing systemic treatments for New World cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania (vianna) braziliensis are unsatisfactory. Liposomal amphotericin B has been used extensively for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis, but in few cases of CL, and an appropriate regimen for CL has not been described. We successfully treated a patient with multiple L. braziliensis CL lesions acquired in Belize. Liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) was given to our patient as an inpatient for seven daily doses of 3 mg kg(-1) day(-1) and then as an outpatient at 3 mg kg(-1) twice weekly for a further three weeks, a total of 40 mg kg(-1). Liposomal amphotericin offers a well-tolerated alternative to pentavalent antimony or amphotericin B deoxycholate for the systemic treatment of New World CL.
目前用于治疗由巴西利什曼原虫(维安纳亚属)引起的新大陆皮肤利什曼病(CL)的全身治疗方法并不令人满意。脂质体两性霉素B已广泛用于治疗内脏利什曼病,但用于CL治疗的情况较少,且尚未描述适合CL的治疗方案。我们成功治疗了一名在伯利兹感染多个巴西利什曼原虫CL病灶的患者。脂质体两性霉素B(安必素)作为住院患者给予我们的患者,每日剂量为3 mg kg⁻¹,共7天,然后作为门诊患者,每周两次,每次3 mg kg⁻¹,持续三周,总计40 mg kg⁻¹。脂质体两性霉素为新大陆CL的全身治疗提供了一种耐受性良好的替代五价锑或两性霉素B脱氧胆酸盐的药物。
