FRAGMENTO
La leishmaniasis es un problema creciente de salud pública en el contexto mundial. En Colombia, la situación es de alarma debido al incremento de casos de leishmaniasis cutánea que se viene registrando desde 2003 y el cambio en el patrón epidemiológico dado por la aparición de nuevos focos, el proceso creciente de domiciliación y urbanización del ciclo de transmisión.
