Twenty-one of 18,000 (0.1%) dermatology patients seen at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Teaching Hospital, Kaduna, Nigeria, during the 9-year period October, 1979-August, 1988, had cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Their age range was 14 to 50 years (mean 28.7 years), with a peak at the 14- to 25-year age group.
