BACKGROUND Disseminated leishmaniasis is an emerging infectious disease, mostly due to L. braziliensis, which has clinical and histopathological features distinct from cutaneous leishmaniasis. METHODS In the current study we evaluated the in vitro production of the cytokines IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-5 and IL-10 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 15 disseminated leishmaniasis an...

Canine visceral leishmaniasis has been denoted as neglected despite being a very well-known disease. Trace element alteration recognized in humans with and cutaneous leishmaniasis, together canine leishmaniasis. The trace elements occupy vital position the immunological system, host immune responses mitigate defense against We aimed to select total of 45 dogs several breeds; those at age 11 mon...

Leishmaniasis - human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection can manifest itself as tegumentary or visceral leishmaniasis. Almost 35 countries have reported autochthonous coinfections. Visceral leishmaniasis is more frequently described. However, usual and unusual manifestations of tegumentary leishmaniasis have been reported mainly in the Americas, but the real prevalence of Leishmania infec...

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania transmitted by insects of the genus Lutzomyia sp. or Phlebotomus sp. The main syndromes are cutaneous leishmaniasis, mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) and post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis. This article reviews kidney involvement in cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis, highlighting...

Leishmaniasis is endemic and mandatorily notifiable in Greece. Epidemiological surveillance data for leishmaniasis in Greece between 1981 and 2011 are presented. In 1998, the notification system began distinguishing between visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis. The mean annual incidence of reported leishmaniasis cases between 1998 and 2011 was 0.36 per 100,000 population. Of a total 563 leishma...

Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic and vector-borne infectious disease that caused by the genus Leishmania belonging to trypanosomatid family. The protozoan parasite has digenetic life cycle involving mammalian host an insect vector. Leishmaniasisis worldwide public health problem falling under neglected tropical category, with over 90 endemic countries, approximately 1 million new cases 20,000 deaths...

Leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease that is caused by obligate intra-macrophage protozoa, is endemic in large areas of the tropics, subtropics and Mediterranean basin. This disease is characterized by both diversity and complexity [1], it is caused by more than 20 leishmanial species and is transmitted to humans by about 30 different species of phlebotomine sandflies [2]. Leishmaniasis consis...

The term leishmaniasis comprises of a group of diseases caused by different species of a protozoan called Leishmania. There are three main clinical forms of leishmaniasis: visceral leishmaniasis, cutaneous leishmaniasis, and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. Exclusive involvement of the mucosa is very rare. We present a case of mucosal leishmaniasis located in the oral cavity. The only manifestation...

ABSTRACT: American cutaneous leishmaniasis is considered endemic in 18 countries the Americas, including Brazil, and part of group neglected infectious diseases. In state Alagoas, from 2008 to 2018, 676 cases were reported SINAN. Therefore, objective was describe epidemiological sociodemographic characteristics treated for leishmaniasis, during years 2018. This a descriptive, ecological, cross-...

Leishmaniasis are notifiable diseases, characterized by severe clinical manifestations, being caused obligate intracellular protozoa, belonging to the genus Leishmania, where species L. (L.) infantum and (V.) braziliensis responsible for most cases. of leishmaniasis in Brazil.
