The disease is considered endemic in northern Paran\u00e1.    OBJECTIVES:  To evaluate the clinical, laboratory and epidemiological aspects of patients with American cutaneous leishmaniasis treated at Clinics Hospital, State University of Londrina, Brazil (Paran\u00e1).    METHODS:  This was an observational, cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study. The medical records of patients with American cutaneous leishmaniasis treated at the University Hospital of Londrina - Paran\u00e1, from 1998 to 2009 were evaluated.    RESULTS:  A total of 470 patients, with prevalence of 8.72 cases \/ 100,000 inhabitants, participated in the study. Most patients were male, aged 21-40 years, with a single ulcerated lesion as the most common clinical presentation, located mainly in an exposed area of the body. With regard to immunological tests, the Montenegro intradermal reaction was positive in 84.4% of cases. Treatment with pentavalent antimony was well tolerated, and patient follow-up for a year occurred in 59% of cases.    CONCLUSION:  American cutaneous leishmaniasis is still an endemic disease in the region, with a high potential for morbidity, but with a cure rate of around 95% after treatment. The use of immunological techniques facilitates the diagnosis of clinically suspicious cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/abd1806-4841.20132168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,25]],"date-time":"2013-11-25T13:35:41Z","timestamp":1385386541000},"page":"748-753","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["American cutaneous leishmaniasis: epidemiological profile of patients treated in Londrina from 1998 to 2009"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Rubens","family":"Pontello Junior","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Londrina,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Airton dos Santos","family":"Gon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Londrina,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Ogama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Londrina,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"843","DOI":"10.1590\/S0034-72992007000600016","article-title":"Leishmaniose mucosa: aspectos cl\u00ednicos e epidemiol\u00f3gicos","volume":"73","author":"Lessa MM","year":"2007","journal-title":"Rev Bras Otorrinolaringol"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Casos de Leishmaniose Tegumentar Americana, Brasil, Grandes Regi\u00f5es e Unidades Federadas 1990 a 2008","year":"2008"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"421","DOI":"10.1590\/S0365-05962005000400015","article-title":"Tegumentary leishmaniasis in Brazil: a historical review related to the origin, expansion and etiology","volume":"80","author":"Vale ECS","year":"2005","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-311X1996000100020","article-title":"Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o sorol\u00f3gica em c\u00e3es de \u00e1rea end\u00eamica de leishmaniose tegumentar, no Estado do Paran\u00e1, Sul do Brasil","volume":"12","author":"Silveira TGV","year":"1996","journal-title":"Cad Saude Publica"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.1590\/S0034-89101993000400003","article-title":"Observa\u00e7\u00f5es sobre o comportamento de flebotom\u00edneos em ec\u00f3topos florestais e extraflorestais, em \u00e1rea end\u00eamica de leishmaniose tegumentar americana, no norte do Estado do Paran\u00e1, sul do Brasil","volume":"27","author":"Teodoro U","year":"1993","journal-title":"Rev Sa\u00fade P\u00fabl"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"681","DOI":"10.1590\/S0365-05962002000600005","article-title":"Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o da leishmaniose tegumentar por imagens de sensoriamento remoto orbital, no estado do Paran\u00e1, sul do Brasil","volume":"77","author":"Lima AP","year":"2002","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Manual de Controle da Leishmaniose Tegumentar Americana","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"141","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-311X1996000200003","article-title":"Aspectos epidemiol\u00f3gicos da leishmaniose tegumentar em \u00e1rea end\u00eamica do Estado do Paran\u00e1, Brasil","volume":"12","author":"Silveira TGV","year":"1996","journal-title":"Cad Saude Publica"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2445","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-311X2008001000025","article-title":"Clinical epidemiological profi le of American tegumentary leishmaniasis at the Pinto Sugar Mill in Moreno Municipality, Greater Metropolitan Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil","volume":"24","author":"Brito ME","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cad Saude Publica"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"249","DOI":"10.1590\/S0365-05962005000300004","article-title":"Estudo cl\u00ednico, epidemiol\u00f3gico e terap\u00eautico de 402 pacientes com leishmaniose tegumentar americana atendidos no Hospital Universit\u00e1rio de Bras\u00edlia, DF, Brasil","volume":"80","author":"Name RQ","year":"2005","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1590\/S0365-05962011000100007","article-title":"American cutaneous leishmaniasis: clinical, epidemiological and laboratory studies conducted at a university teaching hospital in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil","volume":"86","author":"Murback ND","year":"2011","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"437","DOI":"10.1590\/S0036-46651993000500009","article-title":"Surto de leishmaniose tegumentar em Itaporanga, S\u00e3o Paulo (Brasil)","volume":"35","author":"Stolf HO","year":"1993","journal-title":"Rev Inst Med Trop S\u00e3o Paulo"},{"key":"ref13","first-page":"515","article-title":"Urbanization of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Campinas -
