There exist records of what seems to be cutaneous leishmaniasis at least as far back as 650 BC, and possibly much earlier in the Tigris/Euphrates basin. It was described by Avicenna in the 10th century AD, and was well-known in Aleppo and Baghdad by the 18th century AD. Cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum may have occurred in Crete in the 18th century. Artificial transmission was effected in Algeria and Aleppo in the 18th century.
至少早在公元前650年就有关于疑似皮肤利什曼病的记录，在底格里斯河/幼发拉底河流域可能更早。公元10世纪，阿维森纳对其进行了描述，到公元18世纪，在阿勒颇和巴格达已广为人知。18世纪，克里特岛可能出现了由婴儿利什曼原虫引起的皮肤利什曼病。18世纪在阿尔及利亚和阿勒颇实现了人工传播。
