The clinical and histological features of 18 cases of dermal leishmaniasis found in South West Africa (Namibia) over 6 years are described. The lesions were usually situated on exposed parts of the limbs and only one patient had a single sore on the head. The histological picture is similar to that of Oriental sore from other parts of the world. The epidemiology is also discussed.
