Fourteen patients with acute cutaneous leishmaniasis entered a study testing the efficacy of liquid nitrogen. All lesions were cured clinically and protozoologically within 3-8 weeks, without noticeable scarring. The patients did not experience adverse side effects, and there was no relapse 4 months after cessation of therapy. The results of this study indicate that cryotherapy is a safe and effective method for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis.
14名急性皮肤利什曼病患者参与了一项测试液氮疗效的研究。所有病灶在3至8周内临床和原虫学上均已治愈，且无明显瘢痕形成。患者未出现不良副作用，治疗停止4个月后也未复发。该研究结果表明，冷冻疗法是治疗皮肤利什曼病的一种安全有效的方法。
