“…En mujeres embarazadas con leishmaniasis visceral, el peligro para la madre y el feto es grande. En las madres, la enfermedad es más grave, incluso mortal, y el feto puede ser abortado, mortinato o tener transmisión vertical de la enfermedad, la cual suele expresarse en su primer año de vida (11,12). Por ello, es obligatorio que la madre reciba tratamiento específico (11,12).…”

We studied a 19-year-old woman, with a 4-month pregnancy who presented with four cutaneous leg ulcers of three months of evolution diagnosed by biopsy as cutaneous leishmaniasis. Direct smear and the leishmanin skin test were negative. Since all the usual medications for cutaneous leishmaniasis are contraindicated in pregnancy, she did not receive any treatment but cured spontaneously of her lesions during pregnancy. It is believed that cutaneous leishmaniasis does not carry danger for pregnant women and that there is no maternal-fetal transmission in humans, though it occurs in experimental animals. The patient gave birth without complications and both she and her son remained normal after two years of follow-up.
