Résumé

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is one of the major neglected disease worldwide. Although many drugs have been used, the pentavalent antimonials (PA) remain as the first-line choice despite their toxicity and limited efficacy. The combination of two drugs has risen as a potential alternative to increase the cure rate while lowering the side-effects caused by pentavalent antimonials (PA). The objective of this study was to critically review and appraise the potential synergism of the adjuvant therapies of PA with other drugs/interventions previously used in the literature. We carried out a search of literature from PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and clinicaltrials.gov. Articles that described a two-arm or three-arm design in which one of the arms consisted in a combination of a drug/intervention with intralesional or systemic PA were selected. The primary outcome was proportion of complete clearance of the lesions defined as complete re-epithelization and/or negative direct smear. Our literature search identified 554 references. Thirty-one records with a total sample size of 2668 participants met the eligibility criteria. The studies investigated the association of PA with the following: cryotherapy (five studies), allopurinol, imiquimod, pentoxifylline (four studies each), trichloroacetic acid 50% (three studies) and other additional interventions (eleven studies). Overall, the combined therapy of PA with a supplementary intervention was superior to PA monotherapy (RR: 1.23 95% CI: 1.11-1.35, I
