Clinical Manifestations and Distribution of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Pakistan

Figure 3

Distribution of CL in the 4 provinces of Pakistan (numbers represent the studies as noted in the references). As noted in the map as well, the province of Balochistan followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa appears to have taken a major toll. Most of the cities and hospitals where the disease has been identified serve as major tertiary care referral centers for the rest of the province. The exact estimates in adjoining cities and rural areas are underestimated and not well known.
