文摘

The average annual reported incidence of the Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in the study period throughout the country was 30.9 per 100,000 people. The distribution of the Cutaneous Leishmaniasis was most prominent areas exhibiting dry and desert climate and in the central region of the country. This study showed that Cutaneous Leishmaniasis was concentrated in the southwest of Iran during between 1983 and 1997, and migrated towards the center and east of the country during the period 1998- 2013. Hot-Spots of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis were located in the provinces of Yazd, Khuzestan and Kohgiloyeh-Boyer- ahmad (p < 0.05). The northwest provinces were less affected. There was no pattern of spatial clustering of the Cutaneous Leishmaniasis.
