Abstract
[Extract]
• With the increase of tourism to tropical destinations, the need for travel health advice has increased
• American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) is rarely included in this advice
• Numerous cases of tourists with ACL (L. braziliensis) have been described (eg. Melby '92, Caumes '95)
• Lack of education for travellers has been pointed out (eg. Herwald '93)
