Leishmanial cells are seen within histiocytes in hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue sections. Two distinctive clinical and epidemiologic diseases are recognized: the more common and widespread zoonotic rural disease with a moist acute form, caused by L. major, with reservoir rodent hosts, and an urban, anthroponotic, dry, chronic form of leishmaniasis caused by Leishmaniasis tropica, without a reservoir host, and now largely controlled. See: zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis, anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis.

This is a tropical condition caused by the single-celled microscopic parasite Leishmania tropica and transmitted by the bite of the sandfly. It occurs in Mediterranean areas, China, and parts of India, but is spreading to the west Mediterranean holiday resorts. At the site of the bite, usually on the face, arms or legs, a red papule develops which enlarges to 2–10 cm in diameter and which may ulcerate. Small satellite papules commonly develop. The condition persists for 3 months to 3 years, then heals leaving a depressed, often disfiguring, scar.Alibert, Jean Louis Marc, French dermatologist, 1768-1837.
