Abstract
The management of mucosal leishmaniasis in immunocompromised patients is not standardized and limited data are available on the use of miltefosine for treatment and secondary prophylaxis. We describe a case of mucosal leishmaniasis in an HIV-coinfected patient treated with miltefosine due to a severe allergic reaction to liposomal amphotericin B.
