Leishmaniasis occurs with an incidence of 0.5-1.5 million new cases annually, and is also endemic in 88 countries across the world.
Presently, we aimed to investigate the status of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) in Golestan Province in North of Iran.
A retrospective survey was conducted on existed data of 6873 patients with CL who attended to Health Centers in Golestan Province during 2010 to 2017 years. Data were collected using patient sheets and online registry form of CL. Descriptive statistical methods such as mean and standard deviation, and Chi-square test were employed to report and analyze results. p-Value <0.05 was considered significant.
CL cases were more common in men 3885 (56.7%) than women 2965 (43.3%) (p = 0.001). The most and least cases was reported in 2017 and 2104 as 18 and 3 CL cases, accordingly. CL was mainly happen in the November (3816 cases), December (2832 cases) months. Presently, CL gradually increases in the last three years from 2014 to 2017 years.
Decrease of exposurement, improve the nutrition and child's immunity can be more beneficial.
利什曼病每年新发病例数为50万至150万，全球88个国家都有该病流行。
目前，我们旨在调查伊朗北部戈勒斯坦省皮肤利什曼病（CL）的发病情况。
对2010年至2017年期间到戈勒斯坦省卫生中心就诊的6873例CL患者的现有数据进行回顾性调查。通过患者病历表和CL在线登记表格收集数据。采用均值和标准差等描述性统计方法以及卡方检验来报告和分析结果。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
CL病例男性3885例（56.7%）比女性2965例（43.3%）更常见（P = 0.001）。病例数最多和最少的年份分别是2017年和2014年，分别为18例和3例。CL主要发生在11月（3816例）和12月（2832例）。目前，2014年至2017年的最近三年CL病例数逐渐增加。
减少接触、改善营养和增强儿童免疫力可能更有益。
