The main objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of secondary bacterial infections in the patients with cutaneous lesions. The patients admitted to leishmaniasis laboratory of faculty of health, Tehran university of medical sciences from October 2004 to June 2005 were subjected in this study. Clinical samples were analyzed using standard bacteriological and parasitological methods. One hundred seventy three patients were subjected to this study and leishmania was found in 84 (48.5%) cases. According to bacteriological experiments, 47 cases (55.9%) had been also infected by bacterial infections. The most prevalent bacterial isolates included group D Streptococcus (19.1%), Enterococcus spp. (19.1%) and Staphylococcus aureus (12.7%). The findings of current study indicated that the bacterial infections are still an important problem in the patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis and should be considered in treating these patients.
本研究的主要目的是评估皮肤损伤患者继发性细菌感染的患病率。2004年10月至2005年6月在德黑兰医科大学健康学院利什曼病实验室收治的患者纳入本研究。临床样本采用标准细菌学和寄生虫学方法进行分析。173例患者纳入本研究，其中84例（48.5%）发现利什曼原虫。根据细菌学实验，47例（55.9%）也有细菌感染。最常见的分离细菌包括D组链球菌（19.1%）、肠球菌属（19.1%）和金黄色葡萄球菌（12.7%）。本研究结果表明，细菌感染仍是皮肤利什曼病患者的一个重要问题，在治疗这些患者时应予以考虑。
