Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a zoonosis acquired from the bite of a sandfly that introduces the amastigote forms of leishmania into the bloodstream. It is a frequent infection in the countries of the Mediterranean basin and in Tunisia, where it is rife in an endemo-epidemic mode. However, it is rare after kidney transplantation. It constitutes a challenge due to the diagnostic difficulty, the variability and the polymorphism of the clinical picture in immunocompromised patients. We report seven observations of cutaneous leishmaniasis after kidney transplantation through which we try to identify diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.

Organe d''expression de la Société de Néphrologie, de la Société Francophone de Dialyse et de la Société de Néphrologie Pédiatrique, Néphrologie et Thérapeutique a pour vocation de publier des textes en français dans le domaine de la Néphrologie, qu''il s''agisse d''actualisation des connaissances, de recommandations de bonne pratique clinique, de publications originales, ou d''informations sur la vie des trois sociétés fondatrices. La variété des thèmes abordés reflète la richesse de la Néphrologie, qu''il s''agisse d''aspects fondamentaux issus de la physiologie, de l''immunologie, de l''anatomo-pathologie, ou de la génétique, ou de sujets de néphrologie clinique, notamment ceux en rapport avec les thérapeutiques néphrologiques, transplantation, hémodialyse et dialyse péritonéale.
