Localised cutaneous leishmaniasis in an immunosuppressed host: the role for adjuvant photodynamic therapy after incomplete amphotericin B response.
An immunocompromised man in his 70s with a 15-year verrucous plaque on the right hallux initially suspected as squamous cell carcinoma is described and it is suggested that MAL-PDT may be a useful adjuvant to amphotericin B in complex CL caused by the L. donovani complex.
