We would like to draw the attention of the research community to a recently published paper on identification of monoxenous trypanosomatids of the genus Crithidia from lesions of immunocompetent patients with suspected cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran (1). We disagree with the authors' interpretation of the data and posit an alternative explanation. Their study does not contain enough information to justify the conclusions they arrive at in their paper. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
