Liposomal amphotericin B in travelers with cutaneous and muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis: Not a panacea

Abstract: BackgroundComplex cutaneous and muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL and MCL) often requires systemic therapy. Liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) has a strong potential for a solid clinical benefit in this indication.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of data from a French centralized referral treatment program and from the “LeishMan” European consortium database. All patients with parasitologically proven CL or MCL who received at least one dose of L-AmB were included. Positive outcome was based on ulcer … Show more

“…Liposomal amphotericin B is a less toxic alternative to antimonial treatment of CL and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), however, further studies on the optimal dosage are required given species-specific cure rates and variation in reports of total treatment dosages [26][27][28]. Currently, treatment of CL or ML caused by L. V. brazilienisis with AB requires a minimum 3 mg/kg dosage over many days [26,29,30].…”

“…Este estudo demonstra uma frequência de IRA próxima a encontrada por Wortmann et al (2010) e Guery et al (2017) (Galvão et al, 2017). Os eventos adversos mais frequentemente relatados como razões para a interrupção da terapia com azóis foram as elevações de enzimas hepáticas, dor epigástrica, náuseas e vômitos, aumento da creatinina, dores de cabeça, erupções cutâneas e icterícia (Galvão et al, 2017).…”

“…Em relação às formulações lipídicas, foram encontradas, proporcionalmente, quase 2 vezes mais interrupções com o uso da ABCL do que com a AFBL, semelhante a Wingard et al (2000), que encontraram quase 2,5 vezes mais interrupções com a ABCL, fruto de elevadas taxas de eventos adversos relacionados à infusão. A taxa de interrupção com o uso da AFBL foi em torno de 30%, maior do que os valores geralmente descritos na literatura, que variam entre 0 e 20% (Cunha et al, 2015;Cobo et al, 2016;Guery et al, 2017), e foram obtidas taxas menores de interrupção com o uso do antimonial em relação a alguns trabalhos, 44% versus 65%, respectivamente (Solomon et al, 2013…”
