Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis is prevalent in Yemen.
  • Limited documentation exists on the disease in this region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the clinical profile of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Yemen.
  • To analyze the disease's characteristics and treatment response.

Main Methods:

  • Study of 42 cases from Hajjah and Amran Governorates.
  • Diagnosis confirmed by slit skin smear and histopathology.
  • Clinical data recorded via a special protocol.

Main Results:

  • The disease affected patients aged 1-65 years, with a median age of 19.
  • Most patients presented with a single lesion, and slit skin smears were positive in 35 cases.
  • Classified into dry (31), wet (7), and chronic (4) types, with prolonged treatment often required.

Conclusions:

  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Yemen is endemic with a chronic, persistent course.
  • Standard systemic therapy showed inadequate response in some cases.
  • Further epidemiological studies and species differentiation are necessary.
