Increasing such spraying can greatly contribute to VL control.

We assessed the prevalence of post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL), a late cutaneous manifestation of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), in 16 VL-endemic communities in Bihar, India.

The clinical history and treatment of the post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis cases are discussed.
