A leishmaniose cutânea resulta de picadas de flebotomíneos infectados por protozoários parasitas do gênero Leishmania. Phlebotomus é o principal vetor no Velho Mundo (Mediterrâneo, Norte da África, Etiópia e Ásia), onde predominam L. major, L. tropica, L. aethiopica e L. donovani infantum. Outros flebotomíneos são responsáveis pela transmissão das espécies do Novo Mundo, L. mexicana e L. brasiliensis. A apresentação mais comum é com um ou mais nódulos crostosos ou úlceras em locais expostos que curam gradualmente com cicatrizes. As formas mexicanas e etíopes tendem a causar infiltração difusa na pele; as formas sul-americanas frequentemente evoluem para leishmaniose mucocutânea. | |||

Cutaneous leishmaniasis results from bites by sandflies infected by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Phlebotomus is the principal vector in the Old World (Mediterranean, North Africa, Ethiopia and Asia), where L. major, L. tropica, L. aethiopica and L. donovani infantum predominate. Other sandflies are responsible for transmitting the New World species, L. mexicana and L. brasiliensis. The commonest presentation is with one or more crusted nodules or ulcers on exposed sites which gradually heal with scarring. Mexican and Ethiopian forms have a tendency to cause diffuse infiltration of the skin; South American forms frequently progress to mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. | |||
