Abstract

Abstract Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection that causes significant maternal morbidity, and even fetal mortality, during pregnancy, yet there are limited therapeutic options. Here, we report a case of leishmaniasis in a pregnant immigrant with exuberant mucocutaneous lesions with favorable response to liposomal amphotericin B.
