  • Title: Cutaneous leishmaniasis. Treatment with itraconazole.
    Author: Albanese G, Giorgetti P, Santagostino L, Crippa D, Sala G.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol; 1989 Nov; 125(11):1540-2. PubMed ID: 2554818.
    Abstract:
    The chemotherapy of leishmaniasis is still far from satisfactory. Itraconazole, one of the most recent azole antifungal agents, appears to be well tolerated in man. Two patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (Leishmania tropica), contracted in Saudi Arabia, were treated orally for 2 months with itraconazole (100 mg/d). Both recovered without side effects or abnormalities in their main biologic parameters.
