Abstract

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by different strains of Leishmania. The disease affects many people in different countries, particularly in the developing countries. With regard to the symptoms and complications, the disease is categorized into the three types of cutaneous, cutaneous-mucosal, and visceral leishmaniasis. The cutaneous type of the disease is more common, and is prevalent in some countries including Iran. Leishmaniasis is transmitted via the bit of Phlebotomus papatasi and some other species of Phlebotomus.
According to the World Health Organization reports, more than 350 million people in 88 countries are at the risk of the disease. Currently, 12 million people around the world are affected by the disease, and it is estimated that 1-2 million new cases of the disease occur each year. Almost 90% of the cutaneous leishmaniasis cases occur in Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Peru, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.
Considering the several and dangerous adverse effects of currently available drug formulations, many attempts have been carried out to find drugs of plant origin that are more effective and affordable with less adverse effects. Evaluation and identification of medicinal plants used in the traditional medicine and their constituents could facilitate achieving this goal. So far, the anti-leishmaniasis effect of some plants and plant compounds such as quinones, terpenes, alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, lactones, chalcones, tetralones, and saponins have been confirmed. In this study, we have reviewed the medicinal plants used in the traditional medicine of countries and the plants’ constituents to introduce new sources to achieve compounds effective against leishmaniasis

Abstract

Background and Purpose: The most common form of leishmaniosis, Cutaneous Leishmaniosis (CL) is one of the ten most important parasitic diseases globally, with Iran being one of the seven endemic areas in the world. This study aimed to investigate effective treatments for Balkhieh in selected Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM) texts and to propose appropriate treatment suggestions for research.

Materials and Methods: A library-based study was performed for prioritization of appropriate herbal treatments for cutaneous leishmaniosis in TPM. Queried terms in traditional medicine books available in the comprehensive library of traditional and Islamic medicine (Noor software) included “Rish-e-balkhi, Josh-e- Baghdadi, Habbe-e Baghdadi, mosquito bite, Sanakhar, Saldane (leishmaniosis) and Leishmaniosis”. Moreover, some prominent manuscripts including the Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb were also searched.

Results: The current study revealed that “Marham-e Esfidaj” had the highest frequency and score consisting of Mordasang, Tinny Whitewash, Oil of Rosa damascena, Cinnamomum camphor and vinegar.

Conclusion: Based on the data presented herein, none of the reviewed traditional medicine sources recommended single-herb therapy for Balkhieh, and all treatments had at least two components. Maybe, three component combinations that scored the highest based on the prioritization method could be a good suggestion for laboratory and clinical research projects in the field of finding appropriate herbal treatments for Balkhieh or cutaneous leishmaniosis.
