Andean Leishmaniasis or Uta. Four small painless lesions (arrows) in a girl of 5-years old living in the highlands of Ecuadorian Andes. Lesions generally appear on the face of children, and heal within 6 months. All parasites isolated from Uta lesions were L. (L.) mexicana with a predominance of zymodeme 20. No mucosal lesions were seen in these foci.
