Abstract
Tegumentary leishmaniasis cases associated with HIV infections were ra rely reported. We present a case of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis in a senegalese patient with HIV1 infection. The diagnosis was supported by a cutaneous biopsy but no Leishmania strain could be isolated by c ultures from cutaneous specimens.
