IntroductionReports of therapeutic failure to meglumine antimoniate (MA) and miltefosine in cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) varies between species, populations and geographic regions. This study aimed to determine the clinical, drug-related factors, and Leishmania species associated with treatment failure in children and adults with cutaneous leishmaniasis.MethodsA cohort study was performed with children (2-12 years old) and adults (18-65 years old) with CL, who have participated in clinical studies at CIDEIM Cali, Tumaco and Chaparral. Incidence of therapeutic failure was estimated by treatment and age groups. Descriptive, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed for the complete cohort and pediatric patients.ResultsTwo hundred and thirty patients were included (miltefosine: 112; MA: 118), of which 60.4% were children and 83.9% were infected with L.V. panamensis. Overall incidence of therapeutic failure was 15.65% (95% CI: 10.92-20.38), and was lower for miltefosine than for MA (8.92%, 95% CI: 3.59-14.26 versus 22.03%, 95% CI: 14.48-29.58, p = 0.006). Treatment failure was associated with age
