ABSTRACT
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic, emergent and uncontrolled disease due to the change in the epidemiological profile for the appearance of new outbreaks and urbanization of the transmission cycle. A case of a 15-years-old adolescent, who is resident of the Community Dos Ríos located on the Taisha Canton, was described. The patient presented ulcerated lesions, confirming the diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis through the histological study of the lesions, and starting intramuscular treatment with pentavalent antimony salts observing healing with a progressive and gradual resolution of the lesions and emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis, supervised treatment, and monitoring to prevent complications.
Key words: leishmaniasis cutaneous, skin diseases parasitic/complications, rural population, adolescent, antimony sodium gluconate.
