There are no data on rate and risk factors for progression from asymptomatic Leishmania infection (ALI) to visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in people living with Infectious Diseases on the Indian subcontinent. In this prospective cohort study, we aim to establish the rate and risk factors for progression of ALI to VL in a cohort of Infectious Diseases in Bihar, India
Prevalence and determinants of asymptomatic Leishmania infection in Infectious Diseases -infected individuals living within visceral leishmaniasis endemic areas of Bihar, India
A randomized open label, parallel arm, phase 3 trial Clinical Infectious Diseases, ciac127 · Feb 11, 2022
Infectious Diseases coinfection presents a challenge for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Invasive splenic or bone marrow aspiration with microscopic visualisation of Leishmania parasites remains the gold standard for diagnosis of VL in Infectious Diseases -coinfected patients. Furthermore, a test of cure by splenic or bone marrow aspiration is required as patients with VL-infection are at a high risk of treatment failure. However, there remain financial, implementation and safety costs to these invasive techniques which severely limit their use under field conditions
