“…We believe that this is the longest documented delay in recurrence of leishmaniasis recidivans yet reported (a 31-year delay was reported by Gitelzon [in Russian] in 1933, which is discussed in [1]). Most cases of leishmaniasis recidivans result from infection with L. tropica, but a few cases have been reported in association with Leishmania braziliensis [7].…”

We describe a patient with very late recurring leishmaniasis recidivans from whom lesional biopsy samples were obtained during and after topical steroid treatment that demonstrated the ability of the host to contain the parasite in the absence of therapy. Combination therapy with intralesional sodium stibogluconate and oral itraconazole was successful and immunologic data suggest that both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell subsets had roles in this disease process.

“…One peculiar recurrent presentation is LRC, which is rare in the New World. The four cases presented here show the typical clinical picture of LRC, one nosological entity in Old World leishmaniasis described by Berlin: 1 papules appearing at the border of the scar after the healing of a primary lesion and the absence of parasites by conventional methods.…”

“… 17 Furthermore, we have described the presence of parasite DNA in 79% of scars from treated cases using PCR, strongly suggesting the persistence of parasites. 18 , 19 Alternatively, these lesions could represent only a delayed‐type hypersensitivity against parasite DNA and not live organisms. Leishmania DNA is eliminated 24 h after the inoculation of either killed parasites or purified L. major DNA.…”

“…There are very few reports and very little knowledge about LRC in the New World; by contrast, LR is often observed in the Old World where it is usually caused by Leishmania ( Leishmania ) tropica. 1 This variant of cutaneous leishmaniasis was first reported by Christopherson 3 in 1923 and well described by Berlin 4 in 1940. The lesion is characterized by a scar with peripheral activity that progresses slowly.…”
