Abstract

In the Omdurman Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Sudan, from 6 October to 1 December 1986, 736 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) were studied. The duration of the lesions varied from a few days to 4 months, usually (56%) 1–3 months. Multiple lesions ranging from one to 50 (mean=4) were present in 80% of cases. Ulcerative lesions were found in 44%, nodulo-ulcerative in 31%, nodular in 31% and others, including infiltrated, fungating and warty lesions, in 5% of patients. The lower limbs were involved in 66%, upper limbs in 50%, face in 6%, back in 4%, chest in 2%, abdomen in 1% and buttocks in 0·1%. Lesions were also found on the ear, scalp, genitalia and mucocutaneous junctions. Lymphatic involvement was present in 11% of the patients, secondary infection in 18%, fever in 17%, pain in 38% and itching in 61%; 3% of the patients were diabetics. Features of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis were noted in one patient and three cases presented with an ‘id’ reaction. A slit-skin smear was positive in 88% of the cases. Using thin-layer starch gel electrophoresis, 23 stocks from man and one from Arvicanthis niloticus were identified by the characterization of 12 enzymes as Leishmania major zymodeme LON-1. Various therapeutic regimens are discussed. Only patients with severe lesions (approximately 15%) were given 3 to 4 weeks' treatment with intravenous Pentostam®, to which all except 2 responded satisfactorily with minimal side effects.
