title: The clinical and histological features of South West African cutaneous leishmaniasis.
abstract: The clinical and histological features of 18 cases of dermal leishmaniasis encountered in South West Africa are described and discussed. The anatomical distribution of the leishmanial lesions differs from that encountered elsewhere in Africa, but the histopathological changes follow a pattern similar to that of Oriental sore in other parts of the world.
