  • Title: Treatment of Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis with intralesionally injected meglumine antimoniate using a Dermojet device.
    Author: Bogenrieder T, Lehn N, Landthaler M, Stolz W.
    Journal: Dermatology; 2003; 206(3):269-72. PubMed ID: 12673089.
    Abstract:
    Pentavalent antimonial compounds, the mainstay in the treatment of the various forms of leishmaniasis, have considerable toxicity, are difficult to administer and expensive. We describe a safe and efficient therapeutic modality using a spring-loaded and air-powered device for the intralesional injection of a high-velocity meglumine antimoniate microspray in a patient with cutaneous leishmaniasis.
