Abstract
لاستكشاف مدى انتشار داء الليشمانيات الجلدي في محافظة حائل. المنهجية: أجريت دراسة بأثر رجعي في محافظة حائل والقرى المحيطة بها من 2014 إلى 2015. استندت البيانات إلى السجلات المتوفرة في خدمات الأمراض الجلدية في مستشفى الملك خالد (KKH) واستخدمت SPSS في تحليل البيانات. النتائج: بلغ معدل الإصابة بداء الكذب الجلدي 125 حالة خلال عامي 2014 و 2015 (12.5٪) ، وكان أكثر في الذكور منه بين الإناث. بدأ معدل الإصابة بـ CL في الانخفاض من 88 (70.4٪) في عام 2014 إلى حوالي 37 حالة (29.6٪) في عام 2015. كانت أعلى نسبة انتشار عند البالغين (68٪) ، وكانت أعلى في المرضى السعوديين منها لدى غير السعوديين. وبحسب المسكن ، فإن مدينة حائل (64٪) هي الأكثر تضرراً من CL من قراها (36٪). تشير الدراسة الحالية من خلال الضوء إلى أن CL لا يزال مرضًا متوطنًا في مدينة حائل ، لكن حدوثه يتراجع لحسن الحظ. الخلاصة: لا يزال داء الليشمانيات الجلدي من الأمراض المستوطنة في منطقة حائل بالمملكة العربية السعودية على الرغم من انخفاض معدل الإصابة به.

Summary
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) consists of a complex of vector-borne diseases caused by a heterogeneous group of protozoa belonging to the genus Leishmania .It is transmitted by sand-fly vectors and causing an ulcer [1]. There are an estimated 1·5–2 million new cases and 70 000 deaths each year, and 350 million people are at risk of infection and disease [2], and approximately one third of these cases occur in the three epidemiological regions of CL which are America, Mediterranean basin, and western Asia. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is classified as the fourth most endemic focus of CL in the middle East to Central Asia region with an estimated annual incidence ranging from 9 600 to 15.8 cases per year [3].
