Abstract

This article explores the different manifestations of leishmaniasis, a parasitic infection caused by the Leishmania genus. It focuses on cases that presented with symptoms in the ear, nose, and throat, including the skin, nasal mucosa, and oral mucosa. The article highlights the importance of collaboration between medical departments in managing the disease and emphasizes the need for thorough examination and awareness of leishmaniasis in individuals who have traveled to endemic areas. Treatment options vary depending on the case and may involve systemic therapy. [Extracted from the article]
