Leprosy and Leishmaniasis

Ref.: Leprosy and Leishmaniasis
From: Villarreal Olaya M. E., La Paz, Bolivia


Dear Dr. Noto,
I would like to thank very much the Authors of the comments I have already received.
Herewith are the information requested by Prof. William Faber:-
1.
The previous treatment was at the time the patient had cutaneous leismaniasis.
2.
The cutaneous leismaniasis is cured, but he has now a mucocutaneous leismaniasis with spread to orofarigeal mucous membrane. He needs treatment with Anfotericina B for 2 months, and I would like to know if I can administer both Anfotericina and MDT for leprosy without to have adverse effects or begin with Anfotericina.
3.
The patient received the treatment 5 years ago and we do not know what dosage of Glucantime he received.
Thanks a lot for your attention.
Dr (Ms) Villarreal
