Abstract
- Cutaneous leishmaniasis is usually a self-limited infection of skin caused by the genus Leishmania, transmitted by a sandfly. This disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical zone, but recently several cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis were reported in Korean who had worked in Middle East. We report a case of cutaneous leishmaniasis in a 24-year-old male patient, who had travelled in Africa.
