Journal Article
East African countries struggle with visceral leishmaniasis
2009
Overview
According to WHO, \"HIV infection increases the risk of developing visceral leishmaniasis by a factor 100-1000 in endemic areas\". For east Africa, resistance remains a distinct possibility; in India, antimonial drugs are essentially useless, with resistance of up to 60% reported in some places. [...] antimonial drugs require 30-day hospital-based, parenteral treatment; an enormous imposition for most patients-and their families-in the developing world.
