ABSTRACT
Leishmaniasis is a zoonosis acquired from the bite of a sandfly that introduces the amastigote forms of leishmania into the bloodstream. It is a frequent infection in the countries of the Mediterranean basin and in Tunisia, where it is rife in an endemo-epidemic mode. However, it is rare after kidney transplantation. It constitutes a challenge due to the diagnostic difficulty, the variability and the polymorphism of the clinical picture in immunocompromised patients. We report seven observations of cutaneous leishmaniasis after kidney transplantation through which we try to identify diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.
