    Glossary Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

    skin infection from sandfly bites causing sores or ulcers

    Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a skin infection caused by the Leishmania parasite, which is transmitted through the bite of infected sandflies. It typically results in sores or ulcers on the skin, which can be painful and may lead to scarring. This condition is also known as "oriental sore" or "Baghdad boil" in some regions. Treatment often involves antiparasitic medications, and early diagnosis is crucial to prevent complications.
