Clinical Characteristics and Determinants of Treatment Duration in Cutaneous and Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Comparative Analysis
This study identifies distinct lesion features in MCL and underscores secondary infection as a key modifiable factor associated with prolonged therapy. These findings support the need for early recognition, infection control, and tailored clinical strategies to improve leishmaniasis outcomes in endemic settings.
