GH) and the haemacounter deviseused to count the (WBC, Lymphocytes, neutrophil.

Results showed significantdifferences (p≤ 0.001) between males and females, while there were nosignificantdifferences in age.

However, the levels of GH, TSH and T3 were significantlydifferent as compared to the control group.

On other hand, no significantdifferences in the level of T4 hormone were compared to the control group.

WBCcounts were significantly different (p≤ 0.002) as compared to the control group.

While, there were no significant differences in the count of (neutrophils andlymphocytes) as compared to the control group.

The study found the infection bycutaneous leishmaniasis did not have arisk for hormones levels that measured bysearching with confidence level (95% ).
