Abstract

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by the flagellate protozoa, Leishmania species, and transmitted by female sandflies (Phlebotomus sp.). The cutaneous form (CL) is the most common form of leishmaniasis. According to World Health Organization, almost 12 million people from 98 countries worldwide are currently infected with leishmaniasis, while 350 million people are at risk. It was reported that 2 million new cases are diagnosed every year, and estimated 1.5 million are CL among them. Recently, due to political conflicts and wars, refugees who migrated from endemic regions to our country or our citizens who have been going to these regions for certain periods of time have been infected with Leishmania and CL cases have begun to be seen in nonendemic areas of our country. In this article, we present an imported case of CL and its itraconazole-cryotherapy treatment.

Özet

Leishmaniasis, kamçılı protozoonlardan olan Leishmania türlerinin neden olduğu, insanlaraPhlebotomus cinsi dişi kum sinekleri ile bulaşan paraziter bir hastalıktır. Leishmaniasisin en sıkgörülen formu kutanöz (KL) formudur. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü dünyada 98 ülkede yaklaşık 12 milyoninsanın leishmaniasis ile enfekte olduğunu, 350 milyon kişinin ise risk altında olduğunu bildirmektedir. Her yıl bu rakamlara iki milyon yeni olgunun katıldığı, bu olguların yaklaşık bir buçuk milyonunun KL olduğu düşünülmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda yaşanan siyasi iç karışıklıklara ve savaşlara bağlı olarak endemik bölgelerden ülkemize göç eden mülteciler ya da bu bölgelere belirlisüreler için giden vatandaşlarımızın Leishmania ile enfekte olması sonucu ülkemizin endemikolmayan bölgelerinde de KL olguları görülmeye başlanmıştır. Bu makalede, yurt dışı kaynaklı birKL olgusunun itrakonazol-kryoterapi kombinasyonu ile tedavisini sunmaktayız
