摘要

This report describes a case of mucosal leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major with destructive perforation of the nasal septum illustrating the diagnostic challenges of a rare clinical presentation of L. major infection in a traveler. The atypical presentation may have been associated with the use of cortisone as a potential trigger for the progressive destruction of the nasal septum. Leishmaniasis typically manifests itself as one of three classical disease entities—visceral, cutaneous, and mucocu-taneous leishmaniasis. So far about 20 different Leishmania species have been identified as human pathogens and are commonly divided into New World and Old World Leishmania spp. Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is usually caused by Leishmania spp. of the New World, mainly by representatives of the Leishmania braziliensis complex, and less often by representatives of the Leishmania guyanensis complex, which are only endemic in South and Central America. However, new terms are used to describe the different manifestations of leishmaniasis more accurately—mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) refers to an involvement of mucous membranes in the oral cavity or the upper respiratory tract. Several case studies have shown that species of Old World leishmaniasis may also involve mucosal membranes. There are reports about ML caused by Leishmania donovani, Leishmania infantum, Leishmania tropica, or Leishmania major.
