The results of the treatment of mucocutaneous (American) leishmaniasis in 70 patients with amphotericin B in a period of ten years are reported. The effectiveness of the therapy is pointed out with clinical cure in all cases particularly in antimonial resistant cases. It is also pointed out the conspicuousness of the action on the mucous lesions and the low number of relapses (2 cases). The disadvantages of the drug are its side-effects particularly renal and cardiac toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on a self-assessment mini-program. A 3-year-old Caucasian boy was seen in consultation with the Department of Pediatrics. His illness had begun nine months before examination. No cause had been determined. This episode lasted three weeks. His health and growth had been satisfactory until two weeks before readmission. The rash was most visible when the temperature was high and it almost completely faded as the temperature returned to normal. After two weeks of hospitalization during which the fever remained unabated without therapy, the mother remarked one morning that the child's right wrist was tender.
