Abstract

Background and Objective: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in Iran and it can be observed in two clinical forms, anthroponetic Cutaneous leishmaniasis and zoonotic Cutaneous leishmaniasis. The objective of this study was to determine the demographic characteristics of Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Dasht-e Azadegan County, Iran. Subjects and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in Dasht-e-Azadegan city in 2014-2018, based on patient’ s demographic data collection: sex, age, occupation, number and location of wounds, geographical area and season of outbreak. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 20. Results: The number of patients with Cutaneous leishmaniasis in the 5-year period was 1320 persons, of which 720 of them were male (54. 54%) and 600 of them were female (45. 46%). The highest number of leishmaniasis was seen in the age group of 10-19 (23. 78%) and 20-29 (23. 63%) respectively. In addition, 61. 74% of patients were urban and the rest were rural. Significant differences were observed between the geographical area, occupational group, and season with Cutaneous leishmaniasis. About 59. 54% of patients had one wound and the mostly in the hands (28. 78%). The highest seasonal prevalence was in winter and in January and February. During the period under review, the highest incidence of the disease was observed in Abu-Hamiyzeh, and overall the incidence of the disease decreased in the beginning of 2018. Conclusion: Due to the endemic nature of the disease and the prolonged activity of Phlebotomus papatasi in this city, increasing the awareness of high risk individuals is essential to reduce the incidence and prevent the disease.
