Abstract
Cutaneous leishmaniasis in young, white American soldiers infected in the Panama Canal Zone was treated with fuadin, given intramuscularly in doses of 5cc daily in courses of 7 days with 7 days rest between each course. The incidence of myocardial and hepatic toxicity as measured by the electrocardiogram and bromsulfalein retention was high but not enough to preclude conplete therapy. Fuadin was found to be curative, though the response was slow.Keywords
