| description | Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) which is prevalent in all continents and is classified by the WHO as
one of the neglected tropical diseases, existed in the past also, and discovered ancient works confirm this issue.
The lack of adaptation of diseases between Persian Medicine (PM) and Modern medicine, led to no usage of
effective therapeutic experiences of prior physicians.
Objective: The purpose of this study is finding skin lesions adapted to CL in PM for usage of same disease
treatment in the next clinical trials, and the use of approved therapies in CL.
Methods: In a narrative review, without time limitation, documentary study was conducted for different names
and clinical aspects of CL in printed and electronic resources of modern medicine such as: Rook’s Textbook of
Dermatology, Harper’s Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology, PubMed, and Embase. Then, found names were
searched in printed and electronic resources of PM such as: Al-Qanun fi al-tibb, Al-Tasrif leman ajeza an-e- Taliff, JamiTib 1.5 published by Noorsoft.org. Then, skin lesions which were similar to CL with these aspects
were searched: clinical manifestation and forms, chronicity, curability, mosquito bite, were studied in references
of PM. Finally, matching, syllogism and logical inference were performed and conclusion was made.
Results: Forty-five names for CL were found in the searched resources. However, only Balkhieh, Kheyroonieh
and Baghdadi button were names found in PM resources. Also, from 61 studied skin lesions in PM resources,
only 6 cases had similarities to CL.
Conclusion: In spite of the existence of CL’s similarity with Balkhieh, Kheyroonieh and the Baghdadi button,
there are serious differentiations. Zat-ol-asl rashes and reddish solb rashes, kinds of stranger rashes, probably
adapted with CL. |
