Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis developing in miltefosine-treated visceral leishmaniasis

Abstract

Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is an unusual dermatosis occurring following an attack of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). There are only few reports of PKDL after successful treatment with miltefosine. We report two cases of PKDL that developed after successful treatment of VL with miltefosine.
