Leishmaniasis Cutaneous Acute necrotizing

Acute necrotizing cutaneous leishmaniasis (L. cutis cito necrotisans) is an acute form of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania.

This disease is characterized by the rapid development of necrotic ulcers on the skin. The pathogen infects skin macrophages, causing their death and the formation of necrotic lesions. The first symptoms appear a few weeks after infection - gradually increasing painless thickening of the skin. These areas then quickly ulcerate, forming deep necrotic ulcers with undermined edges.

The disease may be accompanied by fever, malaise, and swollen lymph nodes. Without treatment, necrosis spreads, covering large areas of skin. Mortality in the acute necrotizing form of leishmaniasis can reach 75%.

Treatment includes the administration of antileishmanial drugs. It is important to begin therapy as early as possible to stop the progression of necrotic changes. The prognosis depends on the timeliness and effectiveness of treatment. With prompt administration of etiotropic drugs, complete recovery is possible.
