Migration routes determine exposure to endemic infections. We present a case of complex cutaneous leishmaniasis in a man with HIV infection who migrated to the United States from Haiti, where is uncommon, acquiring leishmaniasis while on his journey via South America and Central America. His presentation included hyperpigmented, nonulcerated plaques and nodules on his extremities, chest, back, face, palms, and soles; initially he had no mucosal lesions.

Article Synopsis
  • Autosomal recessive type 2 primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHOAR2) and chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 (CEAS) are genetic conditions linked to mutations in the SLCO2A1 gene that can occur together or separately.
  • The study presents two Mexican cases of PHOAR2 with concurrent CEAS and reviews 232 reported cases to examine the correlation between genetic variants and clinical features.
  • Key findings include specific genetic variants associated with each condition, notably a significant link between certain SLCO2A1 mutations and CEAS, with a call for further research to understand the underlying disease mechanisms and improve treatment options.
