Abstract

The optimal treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis is controversial. We report our experience managing Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis in a pediatric refugee clinic. Conventional amphotericin B therapy caused reversible renal failure in 2 of 3 children treated. The choice of treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis needs to balance the risks of treatment against the likely cosmetic benefits of therapy.

摘要

皮肤利什曼病的最佳治疗方法存在争议。我们报告了在一家儿科难民诊所管理旧世界皮肤利什曼病的经验。在接受治疗的 3 名儿童中，有 2 名儿童使用常规两性霉素 B 治疗导致可逆性肾功能衰竭。治疗皮肤利什曼病的治疗选择需要权衡治疗风险与治疗可能带来的美容益处。
