STUDIES OF THE LEISHMANIN SKIN TEST POSITIVITY IN CASES WITH TREATMENT ANTI-Leishmania

Leishmanin skin test (LST) was applied in 115 (40.5%) females and 169 (59.5%) males whoo suffered from cutaneous leishmaniosis(CL), with 1 to 7 cutaneous lesions, with>2l1 days of evolution (mean = 47; DE = 36.7). Their ages ranged from 0 to 75 years (mean = 21). The clinical, parasitological, se...
