E177-E181 | Pages: | E177-E181 | Journal: | Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal | Abstract: | We describe 4 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in children in Australia. Treatment is challenging given lack of firm guidelines and limited access to conventional modalities used in endemic countries. Topical paromomycin or oral fluconazole were effective outpatient-based first-line treatments, however, topical paromomycin use was limited by expense to import or compound locally.L20174791222022-04-08 | DOI: | 10.1097/INF.0000000000003445 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L2017479122&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1097/INF.0000000000003445 | | Keywords: | Leishmania;male;medical history;preschool child;school child;skin defect;skin scar;treatment duration;treatment response;skin biopsy;bacterial DNAfluconazole;paromomycin;adolescent;amastigote;article;Australia;bacterium detection;case report;child;clinical article;cream;cutaneous leishmaniasis;epithelization;follow up;healing;histiocyte;histopathology;human;human tissue | Type: | Article |
