Dear Flavio,
It is possible. In such cases the diagnosis should be made by PCR.

Assunto: [Leish-l] Auricular leishmaniasis
Dear All
I have a patient who presented proved cutaneous leishmaniasis 3 years ago.
He was successfully treated with meglumine but after 3 years he presented a
secondary auricular lesion. Biopsy did not show amastigotes but histology
like leishmaniasis (no parasites). Anew meglumine course was effective.
Considering L. braziliensis braziliensis is the only species identified in
the state of Parana, South of Brazil, is this feasible?
