Ref.: Leprosy and mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis
From: Talhari S., Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil
Dear Salvatore,
Regarding Dr Villarreal’s message (LML June 25th, 2008) about the treatment of Leishmaniasis + leprosy I suggest to repeat the treatment with antimonial and if there is no response - anphotericin or miltefosine.
Treatment of leprosy: - the same as recommended for multibacillary patients. It would be interesting to do an HIV test.
Best regards,
