Immunotherapy versus chemotherapy in localised cutaneous leishmaniasis.
In a randomised trial a combination vaccine consisting of live BCG together with killed leishmania promastigotes was compared with a standard antimonial regimen in 94 patients with localised cutaneous leishmaniasis. Three vaccinations over 32 weeks gave a similar cure rate (94%) to three 20-day courses of meglumine antimonate. In the immunotherapy group side-effects were few (5.8%) and slight whereas in the chemotherapy group they were frequent (52.4%) and often serious. Immunotherapy is a low-cost, low-risk alternative to chemotherapy in localised cutaneous leishmaniasis, applicable by primary health services in rural areas.
