Cutaneous leishmaniases are anthropozoonoses that involve many species of Leishmania and a wide variety of wild mammalian hosts, thus presenting high importance to public health. This study reports the second case of feline leishmaniasis in Mato Grosso do Sul state, in which Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis was found in a domestic cat from Ribas do Rio Pardo. Clinical signs were similar to those observed in other diseases commonly diagnosed in cats, such as cryptococcosis and sporotrichosis. Cutaneous leishmaniasis should, therefore, be added to differential diagnoses by feline veterinary practitioners, and also adequate investigations should be carried out to verify the relevance of domestic cats as L. amazonensis reservoirs.KEY WORDS: cutaneous leishmaniasis, Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, domestic cat, Mato Grosso do Sul state.

“…American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is an anthropozoonotic disease caused by protozoans of the genus Leishmania and transmitted to humans by the bite of Lutzomyia phlebotomines (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is the causative agent of most cases of ACL in Brazil, especially Pernambuco (5-7).…”

+ and CD25 + T cells in the peripheral blood of patients afflicted with American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) -before and after treatment -and healthy controls. Peripheral blood was collected and transferred to cytometry tubes containing monoclonal antibodies specific for cell surface markers CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16 e CD25. The immunophenotypic and morphometric parameters of cells were determined by flow cytometry and the results demonstrated a significant increase in the number of T CD8 + cells after treatment, suggesting a cytotoxic T cell response. An increase in CD25 + T cells in patients with active ACL and after treatment was also observed, suggesting the participation of these cells in the modulation of the exacerbated effector response.

“…Essa baixa eficácia representa mais um agravante na operacionalização do tratamento, especialmente para pacientes residentes em áreas afastadas dos centros de saúde 4 . O uso de medicamentos alternativos como a anfotericina B e a pentamidina é indicado nos casos de resistência ou impossibilidade de uso do antimoniato de meglumina.…”

A leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) é uma doença infecciosa, não contagiosa de pele e mucosas, causada por protozoários do gênero Leishmania 2 4 11 . É uma infecção zoonótica que afeta vários animais silvestres e domésticos, tendo o homem como hospedeiro secundário 4 11 . A transmissão habitual se dá através da picada de insetos das várias espécies de flebotomíneos, dependendo da localização
