Oriental sore (acute cutaneous leishmaniasis) is usually a self-limited infection of the skin caused by the protozoan Leishmania tropica. This disease is endemic to the Mediterranean, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and is seen in this country among travellers and immigrants. We found four cases at the University of Michigan and diagnosed and treated the disorder. Some of the treatments currently recommended for this disease are potentially toxic, and none have been proved to be of real value. Uncomplicated, acute cutaneous leishmaniasis (L tropica) may best be managed by withholding treatment and observing the patient.
东方疖（急性皮肤利什曼病）通常是由热带利什曼原虫引起的一种自限性皮肤感染。这种疾病在地中海地区、亚洲、非洲和中东地区流行，在该国的旅行者和移民中也有发现。我们在密歇根大学发现了4例病例，并对该疾病进行了诊断和治疗。目前推荐用于这种疾病的一些治疗方法可能具有毒性，而且没有一种被证明具有实际价值。无并发症的急性皮肤利什曼病（热带利什曼原虫感染）最好的处理方法可能是暂不治疗并观察患者。
