The first reported case of autochthonous cutaneous leishmaniasis in Thailand.
Thailand is not an endemic area for leishmaniasis. Several cases of autochthonous visceral leishmaniasis have been reported from Thailand but cutaneous leishmaniasis has never been reported. We reported a three-year-old girl who presented with a chronic ulcer on her cheek which proved to be cutaneous leishmaniasis. The diagnosis was made by finding amastigotes on skin biopsy; the patient had a therapeutic response to itraconazole.
