| Sumario: | Introduction. Since 2015, emerging cases of localized cutaneous
leishmaniasis (LCL) have been reported in Tinum, Yucatan. However, there
are no records of sandflies in the peridomicile.
Objective. To report the presence of anthropophilic sandflies in the
peridomicile of a LCL case in the municipality of Tinum, Yucatan, Mexico.
Material and Methods. A medical history of the suspected LCL case was
made. The diagnosis and identification of the Leishmania species were
carried out by PCR-RFLP. Two CDC traps were placed in the peridomicile.
Results. The patient was a 69 year-old woman with an ulcer in the left leg,
who does not carry out risk sylvatic activities. Leishmania mexicana was
identified as the causal agent. Bichromomyia olmeca olmeca, Lutzomyia
cruciata, and Lutzomyia longipalpis were collected in the peridomicile.
Conclusion. This is the first record of Phlebotomine sandflies in the
peridomestic environment in Yucatan, which suggests the potential risk of
Leishmania peridomestic transmission. |
