N2 - A 1.5-year-old infant was referred because of spreading skin lesions diagnosed earlier as cutaneous leishmaniasis that did not respond to repeated courses with paromomycin-containing ointment. After consideration of the alternative therapeutic options, the infant was treated with topical colloidal solution of amphotericin B for 3 weeks. This mode of therapy resulted in resolution of the skin lesions. No local or systemic side effects were observed. There were no signs of recurrence 3 months after cessation of the treatment.
