| Abstract | ||
| Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a patas itic diseas~ characterized by single or multiplelesions. St:eomlary bacterial infection is one of the complications of the disease that canincrease the tissue destruction and the resultant :~Car. To detennine e(fectively theincidence of real ~t:COndary bacterial infection in the dry type of cutaneous leishmaniasis,we designed the current study. This was a cross-wctional study perfonncd in theoulpatient c li nic of dermatology nnd veneriology at Tikrit Teaching Hospital. A total of37 patlcnts wi1h clinical diagnosis of Cutaneous leishmanias is (dry type) were enrolled inthis study. Samples were taken from all patients. TI1e skin areas surrow1ding lhe lesionswere thoroughly cleaned using cotton wool moistened with alcoh olic iodine. Afterappropriat~ ~ll:alling, the samples were collected aseptically by scraping or stel'ile swabs of!he lesions. All the samples were transferred to M.tc Conkeys agar and blood agar. After24 hours incubation (aerobically& an aerobically) at37 •c, the species oflhe bacteria weredetermined. Then the samples were lnlnsferred to Mueller-Hinton ngar or nutrient agar forsensitivity test. After 24 hours incubation at 37 °C, the diameters of the inhibition zoneswere measured to detemtined the sensitiviLy Among the 37 patients wilh Cutaneousleishmanil!l>i~ the result~ of the culture were positive in 12 pati•nLs (32.4%), 11 of them(91.6%) have more than one lesion and 9 patients (75%) of them were less than 5 yearsold, and 3 p3tients {25%) ..,-ere more than 5 years olcl ~acteria isolatt>d from the lesionswere Staph. anrcus in 11 patien~ (91.6%)( and all were sensitive to Rifampicin) andE.Coli in one patient (8.3%) which was sensitive to Amikacin & Norlloxacin. Theincidence of secondary bacterial infection with a dry type ofC:L, was (32.4%), {91.6%) ofthem had multip le lesions, and (75%) were less ttmn 5 years old. The mo~ commonbacterin! isolate was Staphylocuwus uureus . | ||
