Abstract
Only a few cases of Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis have been reported in Japan, especially recently. We describe a case of a 32-year-old woman who developed rose-colored nodules on her forearms two years after Kala-azar. A skin biopsy specimen from a nodule revealed not only granulomatous changes but also many amastigotes of Leishmania donovani in macrophages. Rose-colored nodules were also distributed on her face and neck. Treatment with antimony compound was very effective.Entities:
