Lupoid leishmaniasis, a clinical form of cutaneous leishmaniasis, was described by Christopherson in 1923 [1]. It is a chronic condition that typically follows acute cutaneous leishmaniasis infection. In this clinical form, 1 to 2 years after healing of the acute lesion, new papules and nodules appear at the margin of the remaining scar.

In a retrospective cross-sectional study, data were extracted from th%e national leishmaniasis surveillance system for the 3 clinical types-cutaneous (zoonotic and anthroponotic) and viscera...

Leishmaniasis is a family of infectious diseases caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bite of sandflies. The geographical distribution of Leishmaniasis is tied in to the abundance of sandflies, their life cycle, and the presence of the parasite reservoirs. The World Health Organization classifies Leishmaniasis as a neglected disease affecting the poorest commu...
