Abstract

All adults (n = 334) living in Brejo do Mutambal, an endemic area for cutaneous leishmaniasis, were included in this study. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, it was observed that men (23.7 +/- 3.2 vs. 22.1 +/- 2.6 kg/m(2)) and women (24.1 +/- 4.7 vs. 22.5 +/- 3.4 kg/m(2)) with cutaneous leishmaniasis presented higher body mass index than the controls.
