Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic infection with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Ocular involvement in CL, though less common, poses significant diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Prompt recognition is vital to prevent severe ocular sequelae.

Observation:

  • Two cases of CL presenting with ocular manifestations are detailed.
  • Diagnostic challenges associated with ocular CL were observed.
  • Potential complications arising from delayed or incorrect diagnosis were noted.

Findings:

  • The presented cases highlight the difficulties in diagnosing CL with eye involvement.
  • Review of literature emphasizes the importance of considering CL in patients with ocular lesions.
  • Ocular complications can be severe if the condition is not promptly identified.

Implications:

  • This report underscores the need for increased awareness among clinicians regarding ocular CL.
  • Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment can mitigate severe ocular complications.
  • Further research into early diagnostic markers for ocular leishmaniasis is warranted.
