Abstract
INTRODUÇÃO: O arsenal terapêutico contra a leishmaniose tegumentar é muito restrito. Os antimoniais pentavalentes permanecem como as drogas de escolha para seu tratamento há mais de 50 anos. Apesar da sua eficácia, necessita de injeções diárias, apresenta muitos efeitos colaterais e tempo de cura prolongado. OBJETIVO: Realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre os avanços no tratamento da leishmaniose tegumentar do novo mundo nos últimos dez anos. METODOLOGIA: Realizou-se em junho de 2009 uma busca eletrônica nas bases de dados Pubmed, LILACS e na biblioteca eletrônica Scielo. As palavras de busca em inglês foram: "cutaneous", "leishmaniasis" e "treatment". Foram incluÃdos apenas ensaios clÃnicos randomizados, duplo-cegos, placebo controlados. Utilizou-se a escala de Jadad para avaliar a qualidade dos estudos selecionados. RESULTADOS: Segundo os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, apenas 8 artigos foram selecionados. As drogas avaliadas nos estudos selecionados foram Glucantime®, miltefosine, imunoterapia, imiquimod, rhGM-CSF, pentoxifilina e paramomicina. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar de a leishmaniose tegumentar ser um importante problema de saúde pública, os dados publicados sobre o uso de novas drogas para o tratamento da leishmaniose tegumentar em nosso meio ainda são bastante limitados
INTRODUCTION: The therapeutic arsenal against cutaneous leishmaniasis is very limited. Pentavalent antimonial compounds have been the drugs of choice for treatment of this disease for over 50 years. Despite their effectiveness, these drugs require daily injections, have many side effects and present prolonged healing time. OBJECTIVE: To carry out a systematic literature review on the advances in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the new world in the last ten years. METHODS: We conducted an electronic search on the Pubmed and LILACS database as well as on the SciELO electronic library in June 2009. The search words in English were: "cutaneous", "leishmaniasis" and "treatment". We included only randomized, double-blind and placebo controlled trials. We used the Jadad scale to assess the quality of the selected studies. RESULTS: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only eight articles were selected. The drugs evaluated in the selected studies were glucantime®, miltefosine, immunotherapy, imiquimod, rhGM-CSF and pentoxifylline, and paromomycin. CONCLUSION: Although cutaneous leishmaniasis is a major public health issue, the published data on the use of new drugs for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil are still quite limited
