Infectious Diseases Unit (STZ), St. Luke's Hospital, Gwardamangia, Malta

Summary 

The localization of Leishmania spp. in the larynx is rare especially when not associated with immunosuppression or with visceral or cutaneous leishmaniasis. We present a case of isolated laryngeal leishmaniasis, the first of its kind documented in Malta and infrequently reported from the Mediterranean basin.

Keywords: Laryngeal leishmaniasis, L. infantum, Immunosuppressed
