Cases were treated orally 500 mg/day of AZITHROMYCIN in single dose for 28 days. Patients in control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups were followed up in days 14, 28 and month 2 and 5. Data were analyzed in SPSS-11.5 by using chi square and exact Fisher's tests.Results: Means ± SD age of subjects was 20.26±8.45 years. Male to female ratio was 1.5:1. The half of the patients resided in rural area. At the end of study treatment; 46.4% of patients in AZ group and 15.4% of patients in control group were cured (P<0.02). One relapse of CL was observed in AZ group, no serious drug side effects were observed.Conclusion: This study showed that AZITHROMYCIN has an acceptable effect on the treatment of CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS in IRANian patients and can be used alternatively in treatment of CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS.
