abstract

leishmaniasis include several clinical manifestations, mostly cutaneous, visceral and mucosal (1, 2). various species can lead to diverse clinical presentations. thus species identification contribute to proper management (3). localized leishmania lymphadenitis (lll) is a distinct entity in clinicopathologic field presenting with isolated lymphadenitis and possible cocomitant cutaneous lesion in the absence of systemic visceral involvement (4). species identification has been acceptable by conventional microscopic evaluation, serologic methods such as isoenzyme and monoclonal antibody detection and particularly pcr. however, definite identification and confirmation of parasite without gene sequencing have always been doubted (5).

Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis Etiologic Agent Identified as Leishmania tropica Using Gene Sequencing

Leishmaniasis include several clinical manifestations, mostly cutaneous, visceral and mucosal (1, 2). Various species can lead to diverse clinical presentations. Thus species identification contribute to proper management (3). Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis (LLL) is a distinct entity in clinicopathologic field presenting with isolated lymphadenitis and possible cocomitant cutaneous...

Sequencing and Gene Expression Analysis of Leishmania tropica LACK Gene

BACKGROUND Leishmania Homologue of receptors for Activated C Kinase (LACK) antigen is a 36-kDa protein, which provokes a very early immune response against Leishmania infection. There are several reports on the expression of LACK through different life-cycle stages of genus Leishmania, but only a few of them have focused on L.tropica. METHODS The present study provides details of the cloning,...

Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis: A Morphologic and Immunohistochemical Study

Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis (L.L.L) is a self limited clinical presentation of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Microscopic findings in L.L.L are very similar to Toxoplasma lymphasenitis. In all cases, an intensive microscopic search should be done for Leishman bodies. In this study, we describe our micro...

Sequence Analysis of HSP70 Gene of Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica in Chabahar and Mashhad

ABSTRACT          Background and Objective: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease and a health problem in different parts of Iran, especially two cities of Mashhad and Chabahar. Due to morphological similarities of most Leishmania species and difference in reservoirs of L. major and L. tropica, it is necessary to determine the parasite speci...

Molecular pathology and histopathological findings in localized leishmania lymphadenitis.

BACKGROUND A rare variant of Leishmaniasis is Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis which has been occasionally reported from south-eastern parts of Iran. So far, no molecular assay has been performed for diagnosing this variety of Leishmaniasis. METHODS Nineteen lymph node paraffin blocks were collected from 1994 to 2007. Parasite load count and histopathological patterns reported on Hematoxyli...
