Abstract
Background: Annual report of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is around 20-40 per 100000 and the numbers are on the rise. One of the areas where significant numbers of people are diagnosed with the condition is the Iranian province of Kermanshah. This is the result of the unique ecology of the region, having the endemic focus in its warm areas. We decided to examine the epidemiological factors of CL in this province.
