چکیده
Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic infectious disease in Iran caused by flagellated protozoa. The most common cause of cutaneous leishmaniasis is L. major. We report a case of disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis after renal transplantation. Conclusion: In countries like Iran where leishmaniasis is endemic, each nodule or chronic skin lesion should be evaluated for cutaneous leishmaniasis. Transplant clinicians should have a high index of suspicion of leishmania infections as an important cause of post transplant morbidity.
