Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a tropical disease caused by protozoan parasites transmitted via infected sand flies. It manifests primarily in cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral forms, each with varying symptoms and severity. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications, as leishmaniasis can be life-threatening if left untreated.
