Cutaneous leishmaniasis in its various forms is a frequent disorder in some parts of the world. It can represent an exotic souvenir for the traveller. Four main types of the disease are recognized. They have different prognoses of evolution. The parasite species, the animal reservoir and the geoclimatic environment influence the nature of human leishmaniasis.
