Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, transmitted by the bite of infected female phlebotomine sandflies. The disease manifests in three primary forms: cutaneous (CL), mucocutaneous (MCL), and visceral leishmaniasis (VL or kala-azar), each with unique clinical and pathological features. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality. This review explores the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of leishmaniasis and evaluates pharmacological treatments, focusing on efficacy, challenges, and future prospects.
