Tegumentary leishmaniasis is a neglected and uncontrolled disease affecting sensitive sectors of the population. The IICS, through this specialized practice, provides the services of establishing the diagnosis and to accompany the treatment of the cases presented, as well as to follow up the cured cases. This work provides data permanently and raises scientific discussions that become sources of research to the institution. And we are talking about a disease with many still unknown aspects that deserve to be studied with priority in our country.

Keywords : tegumentary leishmaniasis; consulting room; research; neglected diseases.
