Abstract

We report the pregnancy outcomes of 6 women with cutaneous leishmaniasis; 5 of these women received topical antileishmenial therapy during gestation with paromomycin plus methylbenzethonium chloride combination ointment and/ or sodium stibogluconate intralesional injections. No teratogenic effects were reported. Furthermore, no vertical transmission was observed.
