Abstract
Clinical evaluation of low level laser therapy in treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis
Highlights
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease spread by the bite of infected sand flies
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in many parts of Sudan, in Kordofan province, Darfur province and along the main river Nile
This work aimed to evaluate the clinical results of treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis using Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), with specific laser parameters
Summary
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease spread by the bite of infected sand flies. A form that affects some internal organs of the body, visceral leishmaniasis, mostly occurs in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Brazil and Sudan [1]. In many species (for example, Leishmania major) the lesion often spontaneously heals with atrophic scarring. The eruption is popular and lasts for months in Africa, whereas in India, the lesions usually start as erythematous and hypopigmented macules that enlarge into patches. Later, these asymptomatic patches may become non-ulcerative erythematous nodules [5]. This work aimed to evaluate the clinical results of treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis using LLLT, with specific laser parameters
