المستخلص: Objective: One of the most common parasitic diseases is cutaneous leishmaniasis, which is seen especially in the Middle East and North Africa and in the Old World. Female sand flies carry the disease. Visitors, immigrants, and military members are infected with these flies every year. Aims of study: the aim of this thesis study is to determine the prevalence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Dhi-Qar Province, as well as to distinguish between the three species of this genus using the PCR-RFLP. Materials and methods: In this study, 100 patients who applied to dermatology department of the Dhi-Qar Hospital located in Dhi-Qar, Iraq and had clinically confirmed cutaneous leishmaniasis were included. Results: The PCR results showed that 84 samples were positive in total. The positivity of the samples was distributed in terms of their demographic characteristics. According to the gender distribution, 54 samples of men were positive, and 30 samples were female. According to the age distribution, the highest number of positive samples was observed in the age group of 61-70 years (36 samples, 42%), followed by the older age group of >80 (24 samples, 28%). Both age groups of 51-60 and 71-80 years showed similar sample sizes (12 samples, 14%). The distribution of blood groups showed that the higher percentage of samples (71%) belonged to the blood group O+ , followed by both AB+ and A- (14%). The source of the infections showed a higher sample number (42%) by arms, followed by hands, (28%), then face and foot had a similar sample (12 samples, 14%).
