Twenty\u2010five patients free of leishmaniasis were accepted as a control group. Punch biopsies and smears were obtained from lesions of the patients in the study group. Half of each punch biopsy specimen was processed in routine tissue processing. After routine tissue processing hematoxylin\u2010eosin and iNOS immunohistochemical staining were applied. The remaining half of the biopsy specimens was studied by PCR method. INOS\u2010positive stained macrophages were determined.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    The positive detection rates in 29 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) were 96.5% by PCR, 86.2% by direct microscopic evaluation of biopsy and 58.6% by direct visualization of smear in this study. iNOS reaction was mildly positive in three cases, moderately positive in six cases and strongly positive in 20 cases.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    iNOS yielded positive reaction in all cases but this positivity showed differences with respect to the age of the lesions or the effect of iNOS on the immune mechanism. This reveals an inverse correlation between iNOS reactivity and duration of lesion (Spearman correlation\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a0\u22120.53,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.003).
