“…MLEE is a useful technique for characterizing species, as it permits the analysis of genetic variability between and among species, as well as their taxonomies and phylogenies (40,41). However, this methodology does not permit the direct identification of clinical specimens, the culture is required and it has low sensibility for samples from patients with mucosal and chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis, which prevents obtaining large amounts of parasites.…”

“…However, this methodology does not permit the direct identification of clinical specimens, the culture is required and it has low sensibility for samples from patients with mucosal and chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis, which prevents obtaining large amounts of parasites. Besides, MLEE is technically demanding and requires prolonged times for obtaining results (10)(11)(12)41). An alternative to discriminate between Leishmania species is PCR-RFLP, a widely used test that is performed with different molecular targets to determine the ability to differentiate species (42).…”

“…Un buen desempeño diagnóstico de los métodos convencionales (frotis/cultivo) depende en gran me dida de cargas parasitarias relativamente altas y a la ausencia de contaminación bacteriana en las le siones [15]. Esta última puede inducir no sólo resul tados falsos positivos, sino también falsos negativos [16], aun cuando las características clínicas/epi demiológicas sugieran que el paciente presente una LC. De hecho, las lesiones de LC con cargas para sitarias bajas representan uno de los escenarios clínicos en dónde los métodos parasitológicos con frecuencia fallan en diagnosticar la infección.…”
