ABSTRACT In the west of Morocco, between 2006 and 2014. The mean age of patients was 19.8 years with extremes from 6 months to 61 years. The sex ratio was 0.76 M / F. The mean duration of lesions was 1.6 months with extremes of 2 weeks to 10 months. Fall preponderance was noted (41.6%). The most frequent clinical appearance was that of a single ulcero-pulmonary nodule (61%) (71.9%) and was seated on the face (57.5%). Cutaneous leishmaniasis continues to pose a real public health problem in our country. The emergence of severe and resistant forms throughout the world should encourage the multiplication and strengthening of prophylactic measures.

1. INTRODUCTION Described the first time in Morocco in 1914 by Foley and Vialate (Rhajaoui et al., 2004), cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a public health problem in our country. It is sharply recrudescence, due to a flagellated protozoan belonging to the genus Leishmania. The aim of our work is to describe the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary characteristics of CL in the Ain Dfali health center.
2. METHODS Through a study conducted between Department of Parasitic Diseases and Ain Dfali Health Center, Provincial Delegation of Health Sidi Kacem, during the period from January 2006 to December 2015, including patients diagnosed with cutaneous leishmaniasis with parasitological and histological confirmation. For each patient were specified: the age, the sex, the geographical origin, the duration of evolution, the clinical aspect, the therapeutic scheme used as well as the evolution under treatment. The statistical analysis was performed using the Exel software (2010 version).
