Abstract

History & Objective: Iran is one of the endemic regions of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the world. Due to lack of information about conditions in numerous CL foci in this country, the present study was aimed to find out the prevalence of CL in BOOSHEHR province between 1362 and 1378.Materials & Methods: The data of this descriptive study included the existing data regarding the prevalence of CL in different seasons, years and districts which were reported to BOOSHEHR's Provincial Health Center between 1362 and 1378. Results: The analysis of the collected data revealed that BOOSHEHR province is one of the Endemic foci of zoonatic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) caused by LEISHMANIA MAJOR. The study also showed the rate of CL indicence during these 17 years had not been fixed and fluctuated from time to time (with the general rate of 1.75 per thousand). At least two important epidemies in 1367 and 1376 with prevalence rate of 5.25 and 6.57 per thousand can be identified in this period. It was also evident that the highest rate of INCIDENCE of CL was in fall and winter, which is one of the most important characteristics of ZCL.Discussion: Occurrence of two important CL epidemics in BOOSHEHR province, which is supposed to be one of the endemic foci of this disease, in the period of 17 years, can clearly show the importance of introduction of special preventive and controlling programs by the health officials in the province.
