The case patient, resident in Majorca (Balearic Islands), presented 12 disseminated erythematous skin lesions, 1\u20136 cm in diameter, located on the scalp, cheek, umbilical region, and lower extremities 8 years after undergoing anti\u2013tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. Parasite presence in peripheral blood and high levels of specific antibodies were also observed, indicating a possible risk of CL shifting toward a visceral infection. However, once CL was diagnosed, anti-TNF therapy was discontinued and liposomal amphotericin B was administered, resulting in a complete healing of lesions, no <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic> DNA detection in blood, and an important serological decrease in antibodies. The lack of data on the supposed epidemiological association between leishmaniasis and immunosuppressive therapy highlights the importance of implementing surveillance systems in endemic areas. No obvious relationship was found based on the data provided by the Balearic Islands Epidemiological System, in contrast with data reported in nearby endemic areas. This indicates that if the suspected association is to be clarified, greater efforts are needed to report information about concomitant diseases and therapies in leishmaniasis patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0769","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,27]],"date-time":"2018-03-27T07:00:39Z","timestamp":1522134039000},"page":"1313-1316","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Case Report: Diffuse Cutaneous Leishmaniasis by Leishmania infantum in a Patient Undergoing Immunosuppressive Therapy: Risk Status in an Endemic Mediterranean Area"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"M.
