Abstract

One hundred fifty-one cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases were recorded during the period from October 1991 to September 1992 from Al-Badarna in Jabal Nafusa, an endemic area of CL in Libya. The infection was clinically suspected and confirmed by the demonstration of Leishmania on smears from lesion biopsies. The age distribution of cases showed that the age group 1-10 yrs was the most affected, indicating that the endemic status of CL in Al-Badarna is not a new occurrence.

摘要

1991年10月至1992年9月期间，在利比亚CL流行区贾巴尔纳富萨的阿尔巴达纳记录了151例皮肤利什曼病（CL）病例。临床上怀疑有感染，并通过病变活检涂片上利什曼原虫的显示得以确诊。病例的年龄分布表明，1至10岁年龄组受影响最大，这表明阿尔巴达纳CL的流行状况并非新出现的情况。
