Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL): The Leishmania braziliensis species complex is a common cause of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the regions where it is endemic. CL typically presents as skin sores or ulcers at the site of the sandfly bite. These lesions may start as small papules or nodules and gradually enlarge over time. Without treatment, they can become chronic and may lead to disfigurement. Lesions caused by Leishmania braziliensis complex parasites are often more severe and can sometimes spread to involve nearby lymph nodes.
Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (MCL): In addition to causing cutaneous leishmaniasis, certain strains within the Leishmania braziliensis species complex can also lead to mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. MCL affects the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, and throat, in addition to the skin. It can cause destructive lesions of the mucous membranes, resulting in nasal congestion, nosebleeds, difficulty swallowing, and destruction of facial tissues. MCL can cause severe disfigurement and disability if left untreated.
Diffuse Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (DCL): Some strains within the Leishmania braziliensis species complex are associated with a rare and severe form of cutaneous leishmaniasis known as diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL). DCL is characterized by widespread and disfiguring skin lesions that fail to heal spontaneously and may be unresponsive to standard treatments. It is often associated with immunodeficiency, such as HIV/AIDS.
Post-Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL): In regions where visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar, is endemic, individuals may develop post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) as a complication of VL treatment. While PKDL is more commonly associated with other Leishmania species, such as Leishmania donovani, it can also occur with certain strains of the Leishmania braziliensis species complex. PKDL is characterized by skin lesions that may appear several months to years after apparent cure of VL.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
