Manipulation of cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions: case series in a peruvian hospital.
Rev Peru Med Exp Salud Publica
April 2021
In cutaneous leishmaniasis endemic areas it is a common practice for patients to manipulate their lesions with traditional treatments as a first therapeutic option. A case series study was conducted in order to describe the frequency and the variations of the patient manipulation of cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions at the Cayetano Heredia Hospital. The study included 124 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis.

- Hyperinfection syndrome (SHS) is a severe condition that requires quick identification and treatment, stemming from a massive increase of larvae in immunocompromised individuals.
- It primarily affects those in tropical and subtropical areas but is increasingly being seen in developed nations due to factors like migration and more widespread use of immunosuppressive therapies.
- SHS can lead to serious complications affecting various organs, such as diarrhea, heart failure, and jaundice, with high fatality rates around 90%, highlighting the need for timely diagnosis and intervention.
Exploring large, unknown, and unstructured environments is challenging for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), but they are valuable tools to inspect large structures safely and efficiently. The Lazy Theta* path-planning algorithm is revisited and adapted to generate paths fast enough to be used in real time and outdoors in large 3D scenarios. In real unknown scenarios, a given minimum safety distance to the nearest obstacle or unknown space should be observed, increasing the associated obstacle detection queries, and creating a bottleneck in the path-planning algorithm.
