Abstract:
There have been many treatment modalities used for the therapy of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Although treatment need not be given for cosmetically insignificant lesions, which are often self-limited, therapy is usually indicated for larger, cosmetically significant and disfiguring lesions, and lesions which progress. This review summarizes the published evidence in support of the numerous therapeutic options that have been employed for cutaneous leishmaniasis.
