Leishmania Parasites and Diseases DiseaseSPECIES Cutaneous leishmaniasis Leishmania major*(main species in KSA) Leishmania tropica* Leishmania aethiopica Leishmania mexicana Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis Leishmania braziliensis Visceral leishmaniasis Leishmania donovani* Leishmania infantum* Leishmania chagasi * Endemic in Saudi Arabia

13
Clinical types of cutaneous leishmaniasis Leishmania major: Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis: wet lesions with severe reaction Leishmania tropica: Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis: Dry lesions with minimal ulceration Oriental sore (most common) classical self- limited ulcer
15
Uncommon types Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL): Caused by L. aethiopica, diffuse nodular non- ulcerating lesions. Low immunity to Leishmania antigens, numerous parasites. Leishmaniasis recidiva ( lupoid leishmaniasis): Severe immunological reaction to leishmania antigen leading to persistent dry skin lesions, few parasites.

Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis Leishmaniasis recidiva
17
cutaneous leishmaniasis Diagnosis: Smear: Giemsa stain – microscopy for LD bodies (amastigotes) Biopsy: microscopy for LD bodies or culture in NNN medium for promastigotes
18
NNN medium
19
Treatment No treatment – self-healing lesions Medical: oPentavalent antimony (Pentostam), Amphotericin B o+/- Antibiotics for secondary bacterial infection. Surgical: oCryosurgery oExcision oCurettage
20
Pentostam ( sodium stibogluconate) for treatment of all types of leishmaniasis
21
Visceral leishmaniasis There are geographical variations. The diseases is called kala-azar Leishmania infantum mainly affect children Leishmania donovani mainly affects adults
22
Presentation Fever Splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, hepatosplenomegaly Weight loss Anaemia Epistaxis Cough Diarrhoea
23
Untreated disease can be fatal After recovery it might produce a condition called post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL)
24
Fever 2 times a day due to kala-azar
25
Hepatosplenomegaly in visceral leishmaniasis
26
Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis
27
Visceral leishmaniasis Diagnosis (1)Parasitological diagnosis: METHOD Bone marrow aspirate 1. microscopy Splenic aspirate 2. culture in NNN medium Lymph node Tissue biopsy
28
Bone marrow aspiration Bone marrow amastigotes
29
(2) Immunological Diagnosis: Specific serologic tests: Direct Agglutination Test (DAT), ELISA, IFAT Skin test (leishmanin test) for survey of populations and follow-up after treatment. Non specific detection of hypergammaglobulinaem by formaldehyde (formol-gel) test or by electrophoresis.

DAT test ELISA test
31
Formol-gel
32
Treatment: Pentavalent antimony- sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam) Amphotericin B Treatment of complications: Anaemia Bleeding Infections etc.
33
Post-kalazar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL)
34
African Trypanosomiasis Life cycle of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense & T. b. rhodesiense
35
Trypanosomiases
37
African sleeping sickness Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense: East Africa, wild and domestic animal reservoirs Trypanosoma brucei gambiense: West and Central Africa, mainly human infection
39

41
Pathology and clinical picture 1.Skin stage: chancre. 2.Haematolymphatic stage: generalized lymphadenopathy, anaemia, generalized organ involvement. 3.Central nervous system stage (CNS): Meningoencephalitis. (Development of the disease more rapid in Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense)
