Information on Leishmaniasis, cutaneous and mucosal Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Screening and Imaging This protozoan infection is transmitted by sand flies. Ulcers usually heal spontaneously within a few weeks or months. Some patients develop mucosal lesions (expundia) which can progress to destruction of naso-pharyngeal tissues. Working in the forest is a risk factor for this disease in Central and South America. [Chin, p. 284-7]
Leishmaniasis, cutaneous and mucosal Latency At least a week, up to many months
