Mucosal relapse of visceral leishmaniasis in a child treated with anti-TNFα

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Visceral leishmaniasis is an enzootic parasitosis present across the Mediterranean Basin. Some consider it an opportunistic parasite. We report the case of a girl treated with anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) for juvenile idiopathic ...

Congenital Visceral Leishmaniasis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
To the Editor: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is usually transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. Nonvector transmission occasionally occurs through blood transfusions, contaminated needles of drug users, organ transplants, or laboratory infection (1). Only a few cases of congenital transmission have been reported.

Antileishmanial Activities of Carvacrol Nanoencapsulate in Biopolymeric Nanoparticles

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
The study obtained biopolymeric nanoparticles containing carvacrol (NPCar) and evaluated their anti‐leishmanial activity. NPCar obtained presented physicochemical characteristics due to its ideal nanometric size and zeta potential, and low polydispersity index.
