| Prodrome Fever, influenza-like symptoms 1 to 3 days prior to mucocutaneous lesions, Mild to moderate skin tenderness, conjunctival burning or itching. |
| This infection may spread to the oral and nasal mucous membranes, a complication referred to as mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, or espundia. |
| Far more devastating is the mucocutaneous form, which invades the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory, causing gross mutilation as it destroys the soft tissues of the nose, mouth, and throat. |
| Our aim is to design molecular tools for detecting the emergence and spreading of drug resistance in visceral and mucocutaneous leishmaniases. |
| Three major forms of the disease are recognized: visceral, cutaneous, and mucocutaneous. |
| The most common side-effects are mucocutaneous or dermatologic. |
