Abstract

Clinical features of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are characterized by a very significant polymorphism making its diagnosis a real challenge for healthcare professionals. Herpes-zoster-like or zosteriform leishmaniasis is exceptional and often misdiagnosed atypical/unusual presentation of CL.
