Title: $[Mucosal leishmaniasis by contiguity with a skin lesion: another case report from Tunisia].
Abstract: Three clinical forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis can be found in Tunisia, i.e. the sporadic form due to Leishmania infantum in the North, the zoonotic epidemic form due to Leishmania major in the center and Southwest, and the chronic cutaneous form due to Leishmania tropica in the South. Unlike cutaneous forms, mucosal involvement is uncommon. The purpose of this report is to describe another case of mucosal leishmaniasis due to contiguity with a skin lesion in a 54-years-old woman. The patient responded well to treatment with meglumine antimoniate.
