Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL.) which is called Espundia, and Uta is confined to South and Central America. In this form of leishmaniasis, the reticulo-endothelial system of the mucous membrane of the mouth, nose and throat is parasitized. It causes chronic ulceration of the mucous membranes with destruction of the bone and cartilage of the nose and mouth. In this study, two cases of mucosal leishmaniasis were recorded in two boys. In one patient, a primary lesion was identified on the patient's neck. In the second patient, no lesion or scar of old lesion or even history of leishmaniasis was reported. The causative agent was typed biochemically and proved to be Leishmania tropica.
皮肤粘膜利什曼病（MCL，又称espundia和uta）局限于南美洲和中美洲。在这种利什曼病形式中，口腔、鼻腔和咽喉粘膜的网状内皮系统会被寄生。它会导致粘膜慢性溃疡，并破坏鼻和口腔的骨骼及软骨。在本研究中，记录了两名男孩患粘膜利什曼病的病例。在一名患者中，在其颈部发现了原发性病变。在第二名患者中，未报告有病变、旧病变瘢痕，甚至没有利什曼病病史。通过生化方法对病原体进行分型，结果证明是热带利什曼原虫。
