Interstitial keratitis caused by American (mucocutaneous) leishmaniasis.

J Roizenblatt.   

Abstract

A 58-year-old man with American (mucocutaneous) leishmaniasis had the unusual ocular complication of interstitial keratitis. Although the parasite was not identified, clinical laboratory and histologic findings were compatible with leishmaniasis, and tests ruled out other causes. Ulcerative areas improved after treatment with 1 g of amphotericin B.
