ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
Describing the general aspects of American tegumentary leishmaniasis enables the identification of the epidemiological scenario of the disease and the development of preventive actions.METHODS:
We analyzed the records of patients with American tegumentary leishmaniasis in north Paraná between 2010 and 2015.RESULTS:
We identified 108 cases (mostly in 2014) with the following characteristics male individuals, rural workers, and ages averaging 56.8 years. Isolated ulcerated lesions were predominant, and Glucantime® was the most frequently used drug.CONCLUSIONS:
American tegumentary leishmaniasis remains endemic and affects mostly men found in areas surrounded by woods; its treatment is partially efficient considering its side effects and incidence of recurrences.
