Infant and young child skin diseases are among the most common features of morbidity throughout the tropics. Because the skin is directly exposed to the environment, it is considerably affected by climatic and local conditions such as vectors and microorganisms, as in the case of leishmaniasis. In America the observed magnitude of cutaneous leishmaniasis in children has led to the study of increased risk of exposure of this group due to the possibility of peri- and intradomiciliary transmission. The present review pretends to make a concrete approach all through the broad and main figures of this parasitic disease, including the clinical, physiopathological, epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects, in order to be used as a practical source of reference for pediatricians leading with tropical cutaneous pathology in the region.
婴幼儿皮肤病是整个热带地区最常见的疾病特征之一。由于皮肤直接暴露于环境中，因此会受到气候和局部条件（如媒介和微生物）的极大影响，例如利什曼病。在美国，观察到儿童患皮肤利什曼病的幅度较大，这导致人们研究由于家庭内外传播的可能性，这一群体接触的风险增加。本综述旨在通过包括临床、生理病理、流行病学、诊断和治疗方面的广泛和主要寄生虫病图式来具体探讨这种寄生虫病，以便作为该地区儿科医生在热带皮肤病理学方面的实用参考资源。
