Caption:
This right lateral view of a patient’s head and neck, revealed the presence of what was determined to be a cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) infection, due to what was believed to be, Leishmania mexicana, involving the right outer ear, or pinna, before the implementation of any treatment. Note the chronic inflammatory, nodular, roughened appearance of the lesion, indicating its long-standing manifestation. See PHIL 18876, for an anterior view of this patient's condition, before beginning treatment, and PHIL15063, for a lateral view of this patient’s ear, after beginning treatment with sodium stibogluconate, or Pentostam®.
