Popis:	Objective: using a clinical case of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis to characterize the possibilities of its diagnosis and treatment options. Material and methods. Data on the medical history, clinical and laboratory parameters of the examination of the patient with a disseminated form of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis were studied in comparison with data from literary sources. Results. The patient with cutaneous leishmaniasis was infected in Turkmenistan. Skin lesions (multiple ulcers, lymphangitis, edema) progressed and led to disability. After Itraconazole course failure, the treatment with Glucantime was prescribed, including its systemic and local (with Dimexidum) application, after which the local manifestations decreased significantly. Conclusion. Imported cases of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis into the Republic of Belarus have become more frequent. Doctors specializing in dermatology, infectious diseases, and general practitioners must know the principles of diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Combined systemic and local application of Glucantime can promote rapid relief of local symptoms.
