Ambiguities in cutaneous leishmaniasis classification and the need for consensus: Experience from Ethiopia
There is no clear understanding and harmony in the classification of CL. Reproducible classification guidelines and training of healthcare providers on CL are needed to ensure consistency in further classification to allow generalizability and comparison of clinical trial findings. Simpler classifications with direct links to treatment decision-making would be valuable.
