    Summary

    This study reports new mucosal leishmaniasis cases in Sudan, detailing geographical distribution, clinical aspects, and immunology. Sodium stibogluconate treatment proved effective for most patients with this neglected tropical disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Tropical Medicine
    • Parasitology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Mucosal leishmaniasis is a significant health concern in endemic regions.
    • Espundia-like muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis cases are emerging.
    • Understanding the disease's epidemiology and pathology is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report new cases of mucosal leishmaniasis and espundia-like muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sudan.
    • To review previously reported cases and describe geographical distribution, clinical features, pathology, immunology, and treatment.
    • To investigate the relationship between parasite load, cellular infiltrate, and serum immunoglobulin levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of previously reported cases.
    • Clinical and pathological examination of new cases.
    • Analysis of cellular infiltrate composition in lesions.
    • Measurement of serum immunoglobulin levels.
    • Assessment of treatment efficacy with sodium stibogluconate.

    Main Results:

    • New cases of mucosal leishmaniasis and the first espundia-like muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis case reported from Sudan.
    • Majority of cases originated from central Sudan's kala azar endemic regions.
    • Lesions primarily affected the mouth and nose, with inverse correlation between parasite number and lymphocytes.
    • Sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam) was effective in most cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Mucosal leishmaniasis is present in Sudan, with distinct clinical and pathological features.
    • The cellular infiltrate composition and parasite load show complex interactions.
    • Sodium stibogluconate is an effective treatment for the majority of patients.
