Se transmite a los humanos a través de vectores, que en nuestro país corresponden a mosquitos. En Costa Rica la provincia de Limón presenta la mayor cantidad de casos, concentrándose principalmente en el cantón de Talamanca. Existen 3 formas clínicas, centrándose esta revisión en la forma cutánea de la infección. A pesar del número importante de casos que ocurren cada año en el país, el manejo de la enfermedad así como las distintas opciones terapéuticas no se encuentran difundidas entre los médicos de atención primaria. Se cuenta con algunas guías internacionales como las de la IDSA o la OMS, sin embargo no todas las opciones terapéuticas son accesibles para todos los médicos, aún más en la Seguridad Social. La presente revisión contempla la clínica, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de Leishmaniasis cutánea con un enfoque desde la realidad costarricense.]]></p></abstract>

There are some international guidelines such as those from the IDSA or the WHO; however, we do not have all the therapeutic options available to all doctors, even more so in the Social Security.
