Abstract
Two clinical cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis of the outer ear in children are reported. The patients were treated successfully with a single intralesional injection of N-methylglucamine antimonate (Glucantime). Aetiopathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis are discussed.
