Zosteriform cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania ( Viannia ) panamensis and Leishmania ( Viannia ) braziliensis: report of three cases.
In Colombia, zosteriform leishmaniasis is a little-known and infrequent clinical variant of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Its clinical features include one or more plaques made up of papules and pseudo-vesicles, which conform to a lineal pattern, as well as satellite lesions that affect one or more dermatomes, without crossing the median line. We present three zosteriform cutaneous leishmaniasis cas...
متن کاملCutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis in 2 travelers
PCR: polymerase chain reaction INTRODUCTION Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease endemic to 88 countries on 5 continents. It is estimated that there are 1 to 1.5 million cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis among local populations, but leishmaniasis also commonly affects travelers to these endemic countries. Leishmaniasis is caused by parasitic protozoa in the genus Leishmania, which are transmit...
متن کاملSusceptibility of spiny rats (Proechimys semispinosus) to Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis and Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi.
The role of Proechimys semispinosus as reservoir of Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis on the Colombian Pacific coast was experimentally evaluated. The susceptibility to L. chagasi also was assessed to determine the utility of this rodent as a model for studying reservoir characteristics in the laboratory. Wild-caught animals were screened for natural trypanosomatid infections, and negative indivi...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of leishmania parasites in Ecuador: are Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis and Leishmania (V.) Guyanensis distinct taxa?
In the course of an epidemiologic survey in Ecuador, the following collection of Leishmania stocks was isolated: 28 from patients with clinical signs of leishmaniasis, 2 from sloths, 1 from a dog, and 4 from sand flies. For genetic characterization of these stocks, multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) were used. Twenty six of the 35 stocks were id...
متن کاملMolecular and antigenic characterization of the Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis kinetoplastid membrane protein-11.
The kinetoplastid membrane protein 11 (KMP-11) has been recently described in Leishmania (Leishmania) donovani as a major component of the promastigote membrane. Two oligonucleotide primers were synthesized to PCR-amplify the entire encoding region of New World Leishmania species. The Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis amplification product was clone, sequenced and the putative amino acid sequence...
