| leishmaniasis, cutaneous | An endemic disease that is characterised by the development of single or multiple localised lesions on exposed areas of skin that typically ulcerate. The disease has been divided into old and new world forms. Old world leishmaniasis is separated into three distinct types according to epidemiology and clinical manifestations and is caused by species of the l. Tropica and l. Aethiopica complexes as well as by species of the l. Major genus. New world leishmaniasis, also called american leishmaniasis, occurs in south and central america and is caused by species of the l. Mexicana or l. Braziliensis complexes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leishmaniasis, diffuse cutaneous | A form of leishmaniasis, cutaneous caused by leishmania aethiopica in ethiopia and kenya, l. Pifanoi in venezuela, l. Braziliensis in south america, and l. Mexicana in central america. This disease is characterised by massive dissemination of skin lesions without visceral involvement. (12 Dec 1998) |
