Abstract:

: 

Protozoan infections can have a variety of different cutaneous manifestations in addition to systemic signs and symptoms of disease. Recognition and diagnosis can be difficult, as additional laboratory tests, in addition to biopsies, may be required. Treatment options for different protozoa vary and resolution of disease may be refractory despite lengthy treatment courses. An overview of cutaneous manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment regimen of amebiasis, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, and toxoplasmosis is outlined in this article.
