| |blood or body fluids. Medicinal leeches (Hirudo medicinalis) have been used in medicine for thousands of years to | |
||treat a wide range of ailments. Nowadays, leeches are used successfully for only a few conditions, notably in the | |
| |field of reconstructive or microsurgery, to salvage tissue flaps and skin grafts whose viability is threatened by | |
| |venous congestion. However, it is also important to keep it in mind as a differential diagnosis in some circumstances.| |
