Abstract
Ultrastructure study of specimens taken from 3 patients with cutaneous Leishmaniasis showed parasites within macrophages. None were found in extracellular locations. Within the macrophages cytoplasm, parasites were located either lying free in the cytoplasm or inside intracytoplasmic vacuoles. Parasites in various stages of degeneration were found both lying free in the cytoplasm or within vacuoles. The parasite-macrophage relationship and the mechanism by which the host reacts toward the parasite are discussed. Die elektronenmikroskopischen Untersuchungen von 3 Patienten mit cutaner Leishmaniasis zeigten die Parasiten innerhalb der Makrophagen. Keime wurden extracellulär aufgefunden. Innerhalb des Cytoplasmas der Makrophagen lagen die Parasiten entweder frei im Cytoplasma oder innerhalb intracytoplasmatischer Vakuolen. Die Parasiten werden in verschiedenen Degenerationsformen im Cytoplasma oder in den Vakuolen aufgefunden. Die Beziehung zwischen den Parasiten und den Makrophagen einschließlich der Reaktionsmechanismen des Wirts gegen den Parasiten wurden diskutiert.Keywords
