Clinical manifestations of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sri Lanka - possible evidence for genetic susceptibility among the Sinhalese.

Annals of tropical medicine and parasitology - 1 Jul 2008

Samaranayake T N, Dissanayake V H W, Fernando S D

Abstract excerpt

Human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania donovani, a pathogen more usually associated with visceral leishmaniasis, is now endemic in Sri Lanka. This report details the characteristics of 200 patients with locally acquired CL, who were recruited prospectively for an ongoing study into the genetic susceptibility to CL in Sri Lanka. In each case, the CL was confirmed by the demonstration of...
