 AB    Three cases of the infrequent mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis, with nasal
       involvement in two of them and affection of the hypophrarynx and larynx
       in the other one are presented. We remark, in the case with laryngeal
       disease, that it was the onset of an AIDS in a patient unknown to be
       HIV+. Leishmaniasis of the larynx has not been described before as the
       onset of an AIDS. Symptomatology, evolution and treatment of this
       disease are revised, pointing out the increasing association, in our
       country, between leishmaniasis and AIDS, and considering the possibility
       of including the leishmania infection as an AIDS criteria in HIV+
       patients, and to rule out an IVH infection in a patient with an atypical
       leishmaniasis either for the site involved or the evolutive course of
       the disease.
