摘要: Abstract Skin ulcer development in cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania braziliensis infection is associated with a mononuclear cell infiltrate and high levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Herein, we show that despite the absence Leishmania-driven TNF, patient acquired immunodeficiency syndrome developed skin ulcer. The presence phagocytes chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), metalloproteinase-9 tissue are identified as potential contributors immunopathology observed L. braziliensis-infected patients.
