dc.description.abstractCutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a zoonotic disease, endemic and notifiable in southeastern Turkey. We investigated clinical features, individual characteristics, and environmental factors of affected patients, and identified additional patients with CL in Diyarbakir. In 2002 we studied the epidemiology of CL in Dedeköy and Durabeyli towns in Diyarbakir Province. We evaluated patients with any skin lesions. A questionnaire including demographic details was completed by each patient. Clinical details of lesions and other dermatological findings were recorded. We walked around the town and surveyed it for environmental factors. CL was diagnosed in 78 individuals aged 1-85 years (mean age of 20). Although all age groups were affected, the majority of patients were under age 20. The lesions ranged from approximately 0.5 to 20 cm. They were located on the face (46.7%), upper extremity (23.2%), lower extremity (5.1%), and other sites. Different types of lesions were observed such as nodule with crust, nodule with osseous crust, violaceous infiltrative plaque with vegetative nodule, erysipelas-like plaque verrucous annular plaque, and eczema-like plaques. The incidence of CL is increasing in Dicle and Durabeyli towns and the clinical appearance may vary greatly.en_US
