A 5-year period (2010 –2014) retrospective study of human cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ahvaz County, southwest of Iran

Conclusions In this study 59.1% of patients were males and this may due to their job, more contact with Leishmania vectors and wearing fewer cloths. Most of the lesions were placed in hands, feet and face. Therefore the necessity of choosing the appropriate clothing, using mosquito nets seem to be important.
