Seyed Javad Hosseini2, Vahid Pourfarziani3, Javad Ameli3, Mohammad Hossein Akbari4Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic infectious disease in Iran caused by flagellated protozoa. The most common cause of cutaneous leishmaniasis is L. major. We report a case of disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis after renal transplantation.
In countries like Iran where leishmaniasis is endemic, each nodule or chronic skin lesion should be evaluated for cutaneous leishmaniasis. Transplant clinicians should have a high index of suspicion of leishmania infections as an important cause of post transplant morbidity.
