- W4311557069 abstract "Abstract Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a threat to U.S. Military personnel as they deploy to endemic areas. As treatment may require evacuation, CL undermines operations. Elucidating the epidemiology of CL in this population is key for prevention. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from a CL sodium stibogluconate treatment trial at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington DC. 412 military members with parasitologically confirmed CL and deployment to Southwest Asia from May 2002 - August 2004 enrolled. Subjects’ CL lesions were counted and measured. 334 subjects completed a risk survey. Given no control group, we used number of CL lesions (NL), total lesion area (TLA), and lesion location as outcomes to assess CL risks. Non-parametric tests and logistic regression were used as appropriate. Results Permethrin treated bed net use was associated with lower NL (p = 0.000), TLA (p = 0.024), and odds of head/face lesion (OR 0.12, p = 0.047). Sleeping in a combat uniform was associated with lower TLA (p = 0.000) and odds of leg/foot lesion (OR 0.39, p = 0.023). Use of a permethrin treated uniform (p = 0.002) and N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) insect repellent at night (p = 0.046) were associated with lower NL. Noting unit members with similar lesions was associated with higher NL (p = 0.007) and odds of head/face lesion (OR 12.1, p = 0.019). National Guard status followed by Active Duty was associated with higher NL (p = 0.002) and TLA (p = 0.000) than Reserve. Sleeping in a building was associated with higher TLA (p = 0.008) and odds of arm lesion (OR 2.28, p = 0.016). Sleeping near animal burrows was associated with higher NL (p = 0.031). Sleeping on a cot (p = 0.006), certain ethnicities (p = 0.020) and certain military occupational specialties (p =0.038) were associated with higher TLA. Increasing age (p = 0.001) and years of service (p = 0.000) were positively correlated with TLA. Conclusion This is the largest group of U.S. Military members with CL reported and provides insight into risks for CL which will guide preventive efforts to reduce the burden of illness in this population.
