ABSTRACT

O prognóstico da leishmaniose cutânea (LC) com o uso dos antimoniais pentavalentes (Sb+5) de um modo geral é considerado bom, embora alguns casos tornem-se refratários à terapêutica tradicional. Infelizmente, não existem marcadores de gravidade da doença ou marcadores de resposta terapêutica, limitando a utilização de formas de tratamento mais efetivas. Em alguns casos, porém, existe a necessidade de utilizar outras drogas, como a anfotericina B (desoxocolato) e as pentamidinas (isotionato e mesilato), consideradas como drogas de 2ª escolha no tratamento das leishmanioses, sendo de fundamental importância à busca de novos esquemas terapêuticos. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar a eficácia entre o antimoniato-N-metilglucamina (Glucantime®) e o isotionato de pentamidina (Pentacarinat®) no tratamento da forma cutânea da leishmaniose tegumentar (LT)...


The prognosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) with the use of pentavalents antimonials (Sb+5) is generally considered good, although in some cases have become refractory to conventional therapy. Unfortunately there are no markers of disease severity or markers of therapeutic response, limiting the use of more effective forms of treatment. In some cases, however, there is a need for other drugs such as amphotericin B (desoxycholate) and pentamidine (isethionate and mesylate), which are considered as the second choice in the treatment of leishmaniasis, since few studies with reduced doses of these drugs demonstrated encouraging results in tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL), which is paramount in the search for new therapeutic regimens using proven antileishmanial drugs. We have compared the effectiveness between the N-methylglucamine antimoniate (Glucantime®) and pentamidine isethionate (Pentacarinat®) in the treatment of CL in an endemic area of tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL)...
