ABSTRACT
Leishmaniasis is an endemic chronic parasitic disease, with approximately 95% of cases occurring in the Americas, the Mediterranean basin, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The cutaneous form is the most frequent, being endemic in the southeast of Mexico (Quintana Roo, Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, Veracruz and Yucatan). Its main clinical form is the "chewing gum ulcer". A case series study was carried out applying combined therapy to 13 patients with Mexican cutaneous lehismania with local intralesional meglumine antimoniate, plus the drug, Ketoconazole 600 mg for 28 days and itraconazole 100 mg every 24 hours in minors, the proposal of a combined approach for the treatment of cutaneous lehismania is due to an insufficiency of antimony meglumine, and the lack of other drugs available in other countries. The pharmacological response of the combined therapy was excellent in skin lesions with clinical improvement and healing.REFERENCES
