Interstitial pneumonitis in human visceral leishmaniasis.

Abstract:

:The involvement of the lung in 13 cases of human visceral leishmaniasis was studied. Interstitial pneumonitis with mononuclear cells was found in 76.8% of the cases; 53.8% also had foci of septal fibrosis. Leishmania were seen within macrophages in 3 cases only. However, all 10 interstitial pneumonitis cases showed PAP-positive material using specific L. donovani (MHOM/BR/72/LD 46) antiserum. 3 cases with no interstitial pneumonitis were PAP-negative. A short discussion about clinical aspects and the course of the disease is presented.

  • The relationship between anaemia and malaria: apparently simple, yet controversial.

    abstract::Among many other factors, malaria plays a major causative role of anaemia globally. The mechanisms leading to anaemia in the course of malaria are extremely diverse, involving immunological factors that act differently according to age and malaria epidemiology. The malaria-attributable fraction of anaemia may then dif...
