Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is an uncommon sequel seen in patients with a previous attack of kala-azar (KA). It is characterized by hypopigmented macules and erythematous eruptions leading to the formation of papules, plaques and nodules. Little attention has been paid to the rare group of patients who present with only hypopigmented macules. The present study has described the distribution of lesions in macular PKDL and their histopathology.
