Abstract

Leishmaniases are parasitic diseases frequent in the Mediterranean Basin. In Algeria they occupy the first place among parasitic diseases and represent 35% of diseases with compulsory notification. This is an alarming situation because the extension of the disease can also deteriorate the epidemiological situation of the tuberculosis and the HIV/AIDS because of coinfection. The authors report a series of 213 cases of Aden ulcers listed in the wilaya of Tizi-Ouzou within nine years, region known for endemia of infantile visceral leishmaniases.
