“…Similar observations have been recorded in the past 10,11 . Involvement of the nasal mucosa in four patients and the lip mucosa in 15 was also noticed, as reported earlier in Saudi Arabia 12,13 and Sana’a (Yemen) 1 . One of our patients had suffered from thick verrucous lesions for 12 years, although this patient was immunocompetent.…”

Objective To study the clinicoepidemiologic profile of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Yemen (Hajjah and adjacent regions) and to identify the Leishmania species responsible.Methods All 136 cases [96 (70.6%) males and 40 (29.4%) females] were subjected to detailed analysis. The diagnosis was based on positive slit skin smear and histopathologic studies when needed. In four cases, in vitro culture and Leishmania characterization by isoenzyme electrophoresis of 15 isoenzymes were attempted.Results Most of the patients (107; 78.7%) were residents of the Hajjah Governorate. The majority of the patients had a single noduloulcerative lesion on the face. Slit skin smear was positive for parasites in 128 (94%) cases (highly positive in 63 cases) and four Leishmania isolates were obtained. The isoenzyme characterization results revealed L. tropica to be the species responsible, and zymodeme analysis showed that one strain belonged to zymodeme MON137, and three strains belonged to two previously undescribed zymodemes similar to zymodeme MON71.

“…Similar observations have been reported from Sana'a and Saudi Arabia. 1,12,13 Five patients had 7 to 11 lesions on different sites of the body, including unexposed sites, suggestive of the possibility of dissemination although the possibility of multiple bites cannot be excluded. Similar observations have been recorded in the past.…”

“…In 1990, Sitheeque et al (8) reported on a group of 492 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis localized to the lips and peri-oral regions. Subsequently, El-Hoshy (1) published 12 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis with localization on the lips, claiming that this is frequent although rarely reported in the literature.…”
