Leishmaniasis on the Finger
Leishmaniasis is only seen in the United States in people that have traveled outside the U.S. There are several different types of leishmaniasis, but all are transmitted by the bite of a sandfly. An initial sore develops at the site of the bite and the infection spreads through the body (systemically) from that point. This picture shows the typical appearing initial site of infection.
