Retention of antimony in skin biopsies of leishmaniasis patients after treatment with N-methylglucamine antimoniate.
Leishmaniasis patients were treated with N-methylglucamine antimoniate by intravenous injections of 10 or 20 mg of Sb per kilogram of body weight per day for 10 or 20 days. Digests of skin biopsies taken from the site of lesion before and after treatment were analyzed for antimony by instrumental neutron activation (INAA). The detection limit of the assay was 20 ng, and no Sb could be measured ...
متن کاملAlterations in Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions by the Use of Meglumine Antimoniate in American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis Patients
INTRODUCTION Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (TL) is a neglected, non-contagious, infectious disease, caused by different protozoa species of the Leishmania genus that affects skin and mucous membranes. Meglumine Antimoniate (MA), the first drug of choice for TL treatment in Brazil, has already been associated with cochlear toxicity, which is defined as damages of the cochlea caused by exposure to ch...
متن کاملOral Manifestations in the American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis
INTRODUCTION American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) can affect the skin or mucosa (mucocutaneous leishmaniasis - MCL) including the oral cavity. MCL oral lesions are often confused with other oral diseases, delaying diagnosis and specific treatment, and increasing the likelihood of sequelae. Thus, increasing the knowledge of the evolution of ATL oral lesions can facilitate its early diagnosis...
متن کاملAmerican tegumentary leishmaniasis: antigen-gene polymorphism, taxonomy and clinical pleomorphism.
Multi-locus enzyme electrophoresis is the current gold standard for the genetic characterisation of Leishmania. However, this method is time-consuming and, more importantly, cannot be directly applied to parasites present in host tissue. PCR-based methods represent an ideal alternative but, to date, a multi-locus analysis has not been applied to the same sample. This has now been achieved with ...
متن کامل[Immunoglobulin isotype and IgG subclass profiles in American tegumentary leishmaniasis].
The present work investigated the serum antibody profiles in 37 patients with American tegumentary leishmaniasis, who were attended at Hospital de Clinicas - Universidade Federal de Uberlandia, MG, Brazil. The immunoglobulin class and IgG subclass profiles were analyzed by indirect ELISA using Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis soluble antigen. The antibody avidity was determined by 6 M urea t...
