Esta é uma forma incomum de leishmaniose relatada principalmente no Brasil, Venezuela, Guiana e Colômbia, e está associada à infecção por L. braziliensis, L. panamensis ou L. guayanensis. É definida pela presença de pelo menos dez focos circunscritos de leishmaniose cutânea em mais de uma região da superfície corporal. Em contraste com a leishmaniose cutânea difusa, na qual há ausência de resposta imune à Leishmania, o teste da leishmanina é positivo na maioria dos casos, muito poucos parasitas são vistos na biópsia e a infecção pode, portanto, responder à quimioterapia apropriada. | |||
