This case-control study compared the clinical profile, parasite load, polymerase chain reaction positivity, and response to therapy in patients with recurrent cutaneous leishmaniasis (RCL) with primary cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). The RCL patients had milder diseases with lower parasite loads, a lower number of lesions, and more self-healing diseases than primary CL patients.
这项病例对照研究比较了复发性皮肤利什曼病(RCL)患者与原发性皮肤利什曼病(CL)患者的临床特征、寄生虫负荷、聚合酶链反应阳性率以及对治疗的反应。与原发性CL患者相比,RCL患者的疾病症状较轻,寄生虫负荷较低,病损数量较少,自愈性疾病较多。
