Background: Leishmaniasis is considered an endemic disease in our country; however, its study in our environment is still incipient. Objectives: To determine the different factors associated with the failure of sodium stibogluconate treatment in patients diagnosed with cutaneous leishmaniasis who were treated at the “Arzobispo Loayza” National Hospital (HNAL) in Lima, Peru, during the years 2006-2018. Materials and methods: A nested retrospective case-control study was conducted in a cohort of 100 patients diagnosed with cutaneous leishmaniasis who underwent sodium stibogluconate treatment at the HNAL. The 28 cases were the patients who failed the treatment, and the 72 controls were the patients who had a good clinical response. Both groups were compared, and logistic regression was used to obtain the Odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. Results: The proportion of treatment failure in the HNAL between 2006 and 2018 was 28%. Patients who failed treatment had more probability to proceed to coast compared with patients who didn't fail treatment (OR 6,8 IC 95% 1,7 - 26,3 p<0,05). Likewise, the patients who failed treatment had more probability to had got only one injury compared with patients who didn't fail treatment. (OR 4,0 IC 95% 1,1 - 15,0 p= 0,03), Conclusion: This study found that the rate of treatment failure was slightly higher than previous studies. Likewise, the patients who failed treatment had more probability to proceed from coast and had got only one injury. It is recommended to carry out multicenter studies where this association can be evaluated.
