Abstract

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in Minas Gerais, Brazil; however, data on the circulating species remain limited. This study identified Leishmania species in he skin samples of patients in Montes Claros using molecular methods. Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis was found in ten samples, and Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in one, representing an unusual case of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. infantum in an immunocompetent patient in the state. The patient, a 62-year-old woman presented with four atypical papular lesions on the arm, forearm, and back, with no systemic symptoms. These results highlighted the need for enhanced epidemiological surveillance.

巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州发生一例由利什曼原虫（利什曼原虫）婴儿引起的非典型皮肤利什曼病免疫功能正常患者的罕见报告。

皮肤利什曼病是巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州的地方病；然而，关于循环物种的数据仍然有限。本研究利用分子方法鉴定了蒙泰克拉罗斯地区患者皮肤样本中的利什曼原虫种类。在10份样本中发现巴西利什曼原虫，在1份样本中发现婴儿利什曼原虫，这是该州一名免疫功能正常的患者中由婴儿利什曼原虫引起的皮肤利什曼病的罕见病例。患者为62岁女性，在手臂、前臂和背部出现4个非典型丘疹病变，无全身症状。这些结果突出了加强流行病学监测的必要性。
