  abstract = {<p>Vast travelling nowadays into warm subtropical and tropical regions demands more knowledge about infectious diseases outside our temperate climate. A leishmaniasis infection in Europeans is no rarity today because of its vast distribution in Africa. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is now considered a spectral and polar disease not unlike leprosy, caused by the leishmania parasite but also influenced by the host's immune response and intolerance. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of a cutaneous leishmaniasis request an immunopathohistological view of the case.</p>},
