Duration of illness (in months) by form of CL.

<p>The durations of illness in adult CL patients were recorded for 144 LCL, 49 MCL, 4 DCL, 1 recidivans CL and 8 multiple CL; this information was missing for 1 LCL patient. For child CL patients, it was recorded for 94 LCL, 21 MCL, 1 DCL, 5 recidivans CL and 12 multiple CL; this information was missing for 4 LCL and 2 MCL patients. For the comparison between C LCL and S LCL, the durations of illness were recorded for 105 C LCL and 39 S LCL patients in adults (this information was missing for 1 S LCL patient) and for 69 C LCL (this information was missing for 3 C LCL patients) and 25 S LCL patients (this information was missing for 1 S LCL patient) in children. CL = cutaneous leishmaniasis; C LCL = contained localised CL; S LCL: spreading localised CL; MCL = mucocutaneous CL; DCL = diffuse CL; RCL = recidivans CL. *Statistical difference measured by Kruskal-Wallis. <sup>#</sup> Statistical difference measured by Mann-Whitney.</p> <p>(DOCX)</p>
