“…Dehghan et al from 2008 to 2009, conducted a study in this city and reported that 42.23% males and 57.86% females are infected with this disease. The results of their study are consistent with the results of the present study[16]. Moreover, in the studies ofAyatollahy et al (2008) and in Abarkuh of Yazd, and Kasiri et al (2012) in Khorramshahr, it is reported that females are more infected by Cutaneous Leishmaniasis than males;…”

“…The results of this study showed that during the period of 2013 to 2016, the disease was higher in males than in females, which is similar to results found in Omidieh, Kermanshah, Damghan, Hamedan, Andimeshk and Yazd (Zahirnia et al, 2009;Hamzavi et al, 2009;Rafati et al, 2007;Behbahani et al, 2012;Nejati et al, 2012;Barati et al, 2015), which could be due to men having less clothing coverage than women and men being more active outdoors, thus having an increased likelihood of contact with an insect carrier. On the other hand, in the present study, in the year 2013, the incidence seen in women was higher than that seen in men, which is similar to that of a study in Larestan (Dehghan et al, 2010), which could be a result of the lack of employment by men in occupations such as agriculture and resulting exposure to sand flies. In the present study, most of the lesions seen in hands were similar to those of Omidieh, Hamedan and Andimeshk (Zahirnia et al, 2009;Behbahani et al, 2012;Nejati et al, 2012) due to the lack of coverage in this area and exposure to insect carriers.…”

Leishmaniasis is a protozoan zoonotic disease that is seen in Cutaneous, subcutaneous and visceral forms. The disease is transmissible via sand flies between humans and many animals, including rodents and dogs. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sabzevar over four years. Information on all patients from the Sabzevar Health Center who had been treated with a diagnosis of Cutaneous leishmaniasis was investigated during the years 2013 to 2016. There were 738 patients with Cutaneous leishmaniasis between 2013 and 2016. There were 54 in 2013, of which 21 (38%) were men and 33 (61%) were women. In 2014, there were 111, 80 (72%) of whom were men and 31 (27%) of whom were women. In 2015, there were 75, 58 (61%) of whom were men and 17 (18%) of whom were women. In 2016, the number of patients increased to 543, 447 (82%) of whom were men and 96 (17%) of whom were women. Five hundred and eightyeight (9%) of these patients were from rural areas and 195 (24%) were from urban areas. Most of the lesions (60%) were found on the hands and the lowest number (3.57%) were on the trunk. The highest numbers of infections were observed in summer and the lowest numbers were observed in winter. According to the results, the incidence of the disease increased compared to previous years, so reducing the adverse effects are necessary.

“…In studies performed in Khorasan Razavi and Larestan provinces, it was found that the risk of cutaneous leishmaniasis in rural areas was significantly higher than in urban areas (10,11), which could be due to the existence of old buildings made of clay and hay, livestock and agricultural work, and untreated diseases in rural regions.…”

Background and Purpose: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in different parts of Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Zarrin Dasht, Fars, Iran, during 2013-2015 Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed on 266 patients selected through census sampling method. Data such as gender, age, occupation, disease season, location of scar on the patient's body, and place of residence were gathered using a checklist and analyzed through descriptive statistics and nonparametric methods. Results:In this study, the majority of the patients were female (58.3%) within the age group of 0-5 years (66.2%), living in rural areas (53%). The highest incidence rate was observed in autumn (49.2%). The majority of lesions (49%) were observed in face. Conclusion:The results of this study showed that cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in Zarrin Dasht, and it annually infects numerous people. Although the disease process has been declining during 2013-2015 in this region, this disease is still a health hazard and needs to be managed.
