Mucosal leishmaniasis: A forgotten disease, description and identification of species in 50 Colombian cases.

CONCLUSION: In this study, we found a severe nasal disease with destruction and deformity of the nasal septum in 25% of the cases, probably associated with late diagnosis. Leishmania (V.) braziliensis was the predominant species. We described a case of mucosal leishmaniasis in Colombia caused by L. (L.) amazonensis for the first time.
