Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease endemic in the Cusco region. It has high morbidity, and clinical complications are a major cause of mortality. The aim of the study was to evaluate nutritional status, biomarkers of nutrition and oxidative stress and their relationship with complications in patients with leishmaniasis in the Regional Hospital of Cusco. For this purpose, a correlational analytical study was carried out. Forty patients with a diagnosis of leishmaniasis were evaluated in terms of nutritional status, biochemical markers of nutritional status (protein profile, lipids, glucose, lymphocytes, eosinophils, hematocrit) and oxidative stress (levels of malondialdehyde, indicator of lipid peroxidation). The nutritional status of patients with leishmaniasis according to body mass index is underweight (7.5%) and with obesity and overweight (27.5%) with a significant relationship with severity of mucocutaneous lesions and therapeutic failure. Malondialdehyde levels increased in 40% of the cases, which is evidence of lipoperoxidation. Cutaneous (77.5%) and mucocutaneous clinical complications of severe severity (35%). As for therapeutic failure, it is evident that classical treatments are not effective in 42.5%. Logistic regression tests showed that there is a relationship between nutritional biomarkers of globulin levels, hematocrit, triglycerides and complications. High levels of malondialdehyde (oxidative stress) are related to clinical complications. High triglyceride levels are associated with therapeutic failure. In conclusion, nutritional status, nutritional biomarkers (globulins, hematocrit and triglycerides) and oxidative stress (MDA) are related to clinical complications and therapeutic failure.
