A Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, West Africa contracted cutaneous leishmaniasis which had several noteworthy features. One of the three presenting cutaneous ulcers was associated with subcutaneous nodules and viable organisms were recovered from healing lesions after multiple courses of treatment, including amphotericin B. Yet, the patient was found to exhibit both humoral and cell mediated features of normal immunologic responsiveness. Ultimately, clinical and parasitological cure occurred. The patient's organism was found to produce lesions in the foot pads of mice.
一名在西非塞内加尔的和平队志愿者感染了皮肤利什曼病，该病有几个值得注意的特征。三个出现的皮肤溃疡中有一个与皮下结节有关，在包括两性霉素B在内的多个疗程治疗后，从愈合的病灶中发现了活的病原体。然而，发现该患者表现出正常免疫反应的体液和细胞介导特征。最终，实现了临床和寄生虫学治愈。发现该患者的病原体在小鼠脚垫上产生病变。
