Abstract

This paper describes the first epidemic of cutaneous leishmaniasis to be reported from the Sudan. The epidemic occurred in villages in an area extending for about 100 km along the banks of the Nile between Shendi and Atbara. The disease affected people of all ages and the skin lesions, which were nodular or nodulo-ulcerative, were usually multiple.
