Abstract
Leishmanin skin tests were applied to 1,469 subjects from all over Mali, by means of the automatic Ped-O-Jet injector. This is the first time the jet injector has been used for leishmanin skin tests. Kala-azar has never been reported from Mali. Its known existence, however, in nearby Algeria, among nomadic groups who enter Mali, raises the possibility that it may be present. Cutaneous leishmaniasis has been reported from every region of Mali over the past 10 years. While several definite foci exist in the sahel, the results of this survey support the impression that the disease has a wide distribution.
