High levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in cutaneous leishmaniasis patients are associated with tissue damage and ulcer development. We found higher levels of TNF and IL-1β in peripheral blood mononuclear cell supernatants in response to soluble Leishmania antigen in individuals with a longer duration of disease. In addition, L. braziliensis-infected patients with a longer disease progression before treatment presented a shorter time to cure after treatment onset. No associations were found between the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF and IL-1-β and patients’ response to pentavalent antimony treatment. Our data suggest that while the Leishmania antigen-specific pro-inflammatory cytokines investigated may lead to ulcer development, they do not influence therapeutic failure in cutaneous leishmaniasis patients.
