Abstract

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major health problem in developing countries with high economic and health impact. Despite suggested treatment for CL, there is still no definite therapy for this infection, and many of these treatments are associated with serious local and systemic side effects. In the current paper, use of different laser types including continuous and fractional CO2, argon, PDL, erbium glass, and Nd:YAG have been reviewed. Based on our review, given the high reported efficacy and low side-effect profile, use of laser can be considered as a good alternative to standard treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Performing more studies using different types of lasers is recommended to evaluate the efficacy of this method for treatment of CL. © 2020, Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.
