Abstract

Leishmaniasis is a spectral disease, caused by obligate intracellular protozoa of the species Leishmania. There are multiple reported instances where neurological manifestations, whether central or peripheral, are described. In this review we describe neurological manifestations seen during infection with Leishmania spp. Taken together, the material discussed here suggests that in patients from Leishmania-endemic areas, when observing neurological symptoms, causation secondary to infection with Leishmania spp. may be considered.

摘要

利什曼病是一种由利什曼原虫属专性细胞内原生动物引起的谱系疾病。有多个报告实例描述了中枢或外周神经系统表现。在本综述中，我们描述了利什曼原虫感染期间出现的神经系统表现。综合来看，此处讨论的资料表明，在利什曼病流行地区的患者中，当观察到神经系统症状时，可能会考虑利什曼原虫感染继发的病因。
