%X In recent years, leishmaniasis has become more common in Germany due to refugees and returnees from endemic areas. However, New World leishmaniasis is less common. We report a 19-year-old female returnee from Ecuador with relapsing deep cutaneous leishmaniasis relapsing after glucantime and unresponsive to paromycine. Species identification by polymerase chain reaction revealed L. guyanense. We discuss the molecular background for possible treatment failure to first line therapy. The same patient also had an infestation by trichinellosis.
