GARCIA CHOQUE, Marco Antonio. Leishmaniasis con afectación de vía aérea inferior y superior, sin compromiso cutáneo. Rev. am. med. respir. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.3, pp.241-246. ISSN 1852-236X.

Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is relatively frequent in the tropical regions of Bolivia. It coexists with another endemic disease of the region: tuberculosis. Tuberculosis frequently affects the upper airways, too. Leishmaniasis may be confused with tuberculosis, thus, its treatment can be erroneous. We report a case of leishmaniasis whose involvement profle is typical of tuberculosis.

Keywords : Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis; Tropical ulcer; Espundia.
