Levofloxacin injections for skin sores from Leishmania
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting the antibiotic levofloxacin directly into sores caused by Leishmania parasites can help heal them. It might be an option if you have a few sores and haven't recently been treated for this infection.
