Abstract

We analyzed 404 (401 cutaneous, 2 mucocutaneous, and 1 visceral) leishmania patients for epidemiology, geographical distribution, periodicity, and treatment response over 2.5 years from June 2007 to December 2009. Three (0.8%) patients developed leishmaniasis recidivans, and 4 (0.4%) recurred within 13 months.
