Abstract
Disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL) is an uncommon form of Leishmania braziliensis infection. It remains unknown why some people develop this clinical condition. We describe 14 DCL patients in Northeast Brazil during 2015–2018. These patients regularly drank large amounts of alcohol, possibly increasing their risk for DCL.
