Case Reports: Late Emergence of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in an Immunocompromised Patient in a Non-Endemic Setting.

David New1, Benjamin A Rogers2,1.   

Abstract

We report a case of reactivation of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major in a 40-year-old man from Afghanistan, in the context of immune suppression. His last potential exposure was 7 years before the clinical presentation. To our knowledge, this is the most temporally distant reactivation of cutaneous leishmaniasis reported in a non-endemic country.
