Resumo
High specificity of an antigen
obtained f rom Trypanosomatid —
"Leptomonas pessoai" (Herpetomonas)
Galvão, 1969, was observed
in the intradermal test for
cutaneous leishmaniasis. Besides
specificity, a sensitivity similar to
the homologous antigen normally
used in the Montenegro reaction
was found. 30 positive reactions
were obtained in 30 patients with
mucocutaneous leishmaniasis and
in 64 patients with other diseases
ten negative reactions, less than
5 mm were observed. In 8 cases
these weakly positive reactions
were concomitant with the two antigens, suggesting a probable
cellular hypersensitivity by specific
infection and the value of the
simultaneous use of both antigens
in epidemiologic surveys.
