Ketoconazole for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in the Context of DrugShortages: A Case Report from Madre de Dios, Peru

In this single-patient experience, oral ketoconazole (200 mg every 12 hours for 6 weeks) appeared to be an effective and well-tolerated alternative for CL during an antimonial shortage. Given the possibility of spontaneous healing in CL and the lack of a control group, controlled clinical trials are warranted before broader adoption.

Abstract

In this single-patient experience, oral ketoconazole (200 mg every 12 hours for 6 weeks) appeared to be an effective and well-tolerated alternative for CL during an antimonial shortage. Given the possibility of spontaneous healing in CL and the lack of a control group, controlled clinical trials are warranted before broader adoption.
