Diagnosis & Treatment

Leishmaniasis isn’t something you are going to be diagnosing in yourself. It can be diagnosed by laboratory examination of a sample of tissue. Seek medical advice if you think you may have it, and remember that it can have a long incubation period.

Diagnosis of CL is by laboratory examination of a small piece of tissue from the ulcer. Treatment of simple, single ulcers is nonspecific – just the usual measures to prevent secondary bacterial infection.

Drug treatment is available with antimony drugs, and is used for multiple ulcers and for kala-azar.
