“…The results of the present study showed that both sexes and all age groups were at risk for CL disease. Similar findings have been reported in various studies conducted in Iran (6,10), in Libya, South-West of Kerman, Morocco, Qom province, Kerman province (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). In our study, most patients were male (58.5%).…”

Amaç: Kutanöz leishmaniasis (KL), tropik ve subtropik bölgelerde görülen sık parazitik enfeksiyonlardan biridir ve İran'daki önemli sağlık sorunlarındandır. İsfahan Bölgesi'ndeki Aran va Bidgol şehrinde KL'yi epidemiyolojik açıdan araştırmak için bu çalışmayı Orta İran'da yaptık. Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel çalışma 2009 ve 2016 yılları arasında 8 yıllık dönemde yapıldı. Bütün hastalardan smear alındı ve ışık mikroskobu ile incelendi. Sağlık merkezlerine yönlendirilen KL tanılı hastaların temel demografik ve klinik bilgileri toplandı ve SPSS programı ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Dokuz yüz yirmi altı KL tanısı konmuş hastanın 542'si (%58,5) erkek, 384'ü (%41,5) kadındı. KL erkeklerde daha fazlaydı (%58,5). En yüksek ve en düşük KL insidansı 100000'de 238,5 ve 44,2 ile sırasıyla 2009 ve 2016'da saptanmıştır. En yüksek insidans %26,3 ile 0-9 yaş grubu hastalarda saptandı. Sonbahar en sık hasta görülen mevsimdi (%54). En çok lezyon ellerde görüldü (%44,7). Hastaların %65,4'ü sistemik glucantime rejimi ile tedavi edildi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre, 8 senelik dönemde KL insidansı düşme trendinde olsa da halen KL insidansı yüksektir. Bu, telaşlandırıcı bir durumdur; hastalığın kontrolü ve önlenmesi için dikkatli bir planlama yapılması oldukça önemlidir.

“…Zoonotic CL is endemic in many rural areas. Over 80% of CL cases in Iran are ZCL type (3,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). The prevalence of CL infection has been reported in different provinces at a variable rate of 1.8% to 37.9% (9).…”

“…The incidence of CL in North Khorasan, Razavi Khorasan, and South Khorasan was 35.80, 34.14 and 7.67 per 100,000 people, respectively. The epidemiological studies on CL disease in Iran indicated that the majority of cases were reported in eastern, central, and southern provinces in the country (29). In addition, the incidence of CL in Iran were evaluated 27.5 per 100, 000 populations in 2011 (30).…”

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a dermal and parasitic disease.. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of environmental and climate factors on spatial distribution of CL in northeastern Iran by utilizing remote sensing from 20 March 2016 to 19 March 2017. Methods: In this ecological study, the data were divided into two parts: The descriptive data on human CL cases were gathered from Communicable Diseases center of Iran. The remote sensing techniques and satellite imagery data (TRMM, MODIS-Aqua, MODIS-Terra and AMSR-2 with spatial resolution 0.25°, 0.05°, 5600m and 10km) of environmental and climate factors were used to determine the spatial pattern changes of cutaneous leishmaniasis incidence. Results: The incidence of CL in North Khorasan, Razavi Khorasan, and South Khorasan was 35.80 per 100,000 people (309/863092), 34.14 per 100,000 people (2197/6,434,501) and 7.67 per 100,000 people (59/768,898), respectively. The incidence of CL had the highest correlation with soil moisture and evapotranspiration. Moreover, the incidence of disease was significantly correlated with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and air humidity while it had the lowest correlation with rainfall. Furthermore, the CL incidence had an indirect correlation relation with the air temperature meaning that with an increase in the temperature, the incidence of disease decreased. Conclusion: As such, the incidence of disease was also higher in the northern regions; most areas of North Khorasan and northern regions of Razavi Khorasan; where the rainfall, vegetation, specific humidity, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture was higher than the southern areas.
