Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a severe parasitic disease affecting people, mostly in underdeveloped nations. As a zoonotic infection yearly incidence of CL depends on several parameters such as demographic, epidemiological, and environmental factors as well as prevention and control measures. The sudden outbreak of pandemics such as SARS-Corona-Virus-2 pandemic, can probably affect the incidence or reporting of other diseases, especially infectious diseases, in various ways such as pressure on health systems, providing sanitary services and its components, lockdowns and changes in people\'s living habits.
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to evaluate the COVID-19 impact on the incidence and other epidemiological aspects as well as control measures of CL in Ilam Province-Iran.
UNASSIGNED: Required data was extracted from the CL registration system in Ilam from 2014 to 2021 to demonstrate the trend of CL incidence before and after COVID-19 pandemic.
UNASSIGNED: Based on our results, a declining pattern of CL incidence was observed, accompanied by the advent and intensification of the viral pandemic in Iran and Ilam province. Although, this decreasing pattern was not integral in all areas, and even increase in CL detection was emphasized in some regions.
UNASSIGNED: It may be inferred that the COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt treatment programs of CL cases, rodent nest destruction, and fighting vector insects.
摘要:
皮肤利什曼病(CL)是一种严重的寄生虫病,主要在不发达国家。作为人畜共患感染,CL的年发病率取决于几个参数,如人口统计学,流行病学,和环境因素以及预防和控制措施。SARS-冠状病毒-2大流行等流行病的突然爆发,可能会影响其他疾病的发病率或报告,尤其是传染病,以各种方式,例如对卫生系统的压力,提供卫生服务及其组成部分,封锁和改变人们的生活习惯。
本研究旨在评估COVID-19对伊朗伊兰省CL发病率和其他流行病学方面的影响以及控制措施。
从2014年至2021年在Ilam的CL注册系统中提取了所需的数据,以证明在COVID-19大流行之前和之后CL发病率的趋势。
根据我们的结果,观察到CL发病率的下降模式,伴随着伊朗和伊拉姆省病毒大流行的到来和加剧。虽然,这种下降模式并非在所有领域都是不可或缺的,甚至在某些地区强调了CL检测的增加。
可以推断,COVID-19大流行可能会破坏CL病例的治疗方案,啮齿动物的巢破坏,和媒介昆虫战斗。
