Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease endemic to tropical and subtropical regions.
  • While uncommon in Western Europe, cases are often linked to international travel.
  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis presents with skin sores, and recidiva indicates a recurrence.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a nasal lesion consistent with leishmaniasis.
  • The lesion appeared after undergoing septal surgery.
  • The patient had a history of travel to an endemic area.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis recidiva was confirmed.
  • The nasal septum was the affected site, post-surgery.
  • This presentation is unusual for the United Kingdom.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering leishmaniasis in patients with relevant travel history presenting with unusual skin lesions.
  • Suggests that surgical sites, like the nasal septum, may be susceptible to infection recurrence.
  • Underscores the need for heightened awareness among clinicians in non-endemic areas regarding travel-associated parasitic infections.
