Abstract
Post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) involving the mucus membranes is relatively rare on the Indian sub-continent. We describe 3 cases of PKDL presenting with hoarseness of voice. In one case the skin, nasal, oral, oropharyngeal and laryngeal mucosa had nodular and nodulo-ulcerative lesions; in the 2 other cases, genitalia and anorectal mucosa were also affected. Laryngoscopic examination revealed nodular lesions on the vocal cords. Biopsy smear and culture confirmed their leishmanial origin.Entities:
