Leishmaniasis Visceral Indian

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease that affects the lymphatic vessels and nodes, bone marrow, liver, spleen and other organs. The visceral form of leishmaniasis is the most severe form of the disease. It was named after its first scientific publication in India, but is actually found in countries in Asia, Africa and South America. This disease has many names: Dum Dum, Lewis, Assam Fever, Chang Nadi, etc.

The Leishmania virus attacks red bone marrow cells and causes serious problems with the human immune system. Symptoms of the disease appear from the second month after infection and persist for several years. The diagnosis is usually made based on blood tests and/or organ biopsies, as well as the patient's symptomatic features.

Treatment for leishmaniasis can take several months and requires a combination approach. The main method of treatment is taking a drug based on the drug dapsone, which is only effective when it enters the bloodstream. Antibiotics, immunosuppressants, steroids and antimalarials are also used. Patients should undergo regular medical examinations and be under the supervision of a physician.

It is important to note,

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by protozoan microorganisms of the genus Leishmania. They affect internal organs and lead to various pathological changes. One type of leishmaniasis is Visceral Leishmania Individualia, or Kala-azar in some countries.
