CD8A and laryngotracheoesophageal cleft: Such results are conflicting with those described for CL due to L. braziliensis showing that CD8+ T cells from late stage of CL (>10 days of evolution) expressed significantly higher levels of granzyme A than early stages of CL suggesting the involvement of such cells in lesion progression.10 This discrepancy could be explained by the fact that lesions enrolled in the latter study were classified in early stage CL with approximately 15 days of illness, non ulcerated lesions, or late‐stage LC with approximately 60 days of illness, ulcerated lesion.
