Comparative study of cutaneous leishmaniasis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and non-HIV-infected patients in French Guiana

Abstract

In French Guiana, cutaneous leishmaniasis in moderately immunosuppressed HIV-infected subjects (> 200 CD4+ T cells mm(-3)) is characterized by a higher rate of recurrence or reinfection and is more difficult to treat than that in HIV- subjects.
