- Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is prevalent in impoverished areas of Iran, prompting a study to identify its species using molecular and traditional diagnostic techniques.
- A cross-sectional study involving 32 patients in Sistan and Baluchistan Province revealed that PCR testing was the most sensitive method for detecting CL, outperforming culture and microscopy.
- The study identified the predominant species causing CL and underscored the need for molecular methods in species identification to improve understanding of the disease's epidemiology in the region.
