Mashhad, located in north-east Iran, is one of the most important regions for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) due to Leishmania tropica. Children account for 7-10% of the infected population in the endemic areas.

Therefore, we aimed to study the clinical features and demographic information in children visiting the Leishmania clinic of two main teaching hospitals.
