Abstract

We studied 445 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Yafran area during the period February 1991 to December 1992. The highest incidence rates were recorded at the end of the transmission seasons in two peaks, one in November 1991 and the second in December 1992. The ratio of infected males to females was 1.85:1.00. The highest rate of infection was found among people 11-20 years of age. This indicates that the disease is not new in the Yafran area.

摘要

1991年2月至1992年12月期间，我们对亚夫兰地区的445例皮肤利什曼病病例进行了研究。发病率最高出现在两个传播季节末的高峰期，一个是1991年11月，另一个是1992年12月。感染男性与女性的比例为1.85:1.00。感染率最高的是11至20岁的人群。这表明该疾病在亚夫兰地区并非新出现的。
