Abstract

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by more than 25 species of the hemoflagellate Leishmania. It is transmitted through the bite of an infected sand fly and is widespread in India and around the world. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old male with cutaneous leishmaniasis in the form of erythematous papules over the abdomen, dorsum of the right hand, and right knee.
