RESUMEN
La leishmaniasis resulta una enfermedad infectocontagiosa causada por un protozoo del género Leishmania. Esta constituye un problema de salud importante para diversas regiones de América Latina. El aislamiento social impuesta a raíz de la pandemia de COVID-19 favoreció que disminuyera la incidencia de esta entidad, pero las actividades sociales de la normalidad se retomaron paulatinamente, imponiéndose que se retomen las medidas de seguimiento y control correspondientes.
