Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major health problem in developing countries with high economic and health impact. Despite suggested treatment for CL, there is still no definite therapy for this infection, and many of these treatments are associated with serious local and systemic side effects. In the current paper, use of different laser types including continuous and fractional CO2, argon, PDL, erbium glass, and Nd:YAG have been reviewed. Based on our review, given the high reported efficacy and low side-effect profile, use of laser can be considered as a good alternative to standard treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Performing more studies using different types of lasers is recommended to evaluate the efficacy of this method for treatment of CL.
皮肤利什曼病（CL）是发展中国家的一个重大健康问题，具有很高的经济和健康影响。尽管针对CL有推荐的治疗方法，但对于这种感染仍没有明确的疗法，而且其中许多治疗方法都伴有严重的局部和全身副作用。在当前论文中，对包括连续和分次二氧化碳、氩气、脉冲染料激光、铒玻璃和钕钇铝石榴石在内的不同类型激光的使用进行了综述。根据我们的综述，鉴于所报道的高疗效和低副作用，激光的使用可被视为皮肤利什曼病（CL）标准治疗的一种良好替代方法。建议进行更多使用不同类型激光的研究，以评估该方法治疗CL的疗效。
