Cutaneous leishmaniasis after a vacation in the Balearic Islands

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a skin disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania , which is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, with Leishmania infantum becoming increasingly relevant in southern Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean region. This pathogen typically causes visceral leishmaniasis, but can also cause exclusively cutaneous lesions in immunocompetent individuals, as in the present case.
