Abstract:

This is an a typical case of disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis in a 40-year-old HIV positive man. He presented with 4-month history of a progressive maculopapular eruption of the skin. The diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis was established by skin biopsy. This atypical form responded to miltefosine. This clinical form may be confused with other diseases like molluscum, leprosy, tuberculosis etc.
