AB Encompassing  a  complex  group  of  disorders,  leishmaniasis  is  caused  by  unicellular  eukaryotic  obligatory  intracellular  protozoa  of  the  genus  Leishmania  and  primarily  affects  the  host’s  reticuloendothelial  system.  Leishmania  species  produce  widely  varying  clinical  syndromes  ranging  from  self-healing  cutaneous  ulcers  to  fatal  visceral  disease.  These  syndromes  fall  into  three  broad  categories:  visceral  leishmaniasis  (VL),  cutaneous  leishmaniasis  (CL),  and  mucosal  leishmaniasis  (ML).
