Use of amphotericin B in mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. 1976

M A Crofts

Twelve patients with South American mococutaneous leishmaniasis who attended the Hospital Amazonico in Peru between February and September 1974 were treated with amphotericin B. The lesions responded rapidly to treatment. A relatively low total dose of amphotericin B induced healing of active lesions. No serious adverse effects of treatment were encountered.
