Official Title: A Study to Explore Association of Treatment Regimens for Visceral Leishmaniasis, Host Immunological, Genetical and Nutrition Factors With Post-kala-a
Brief Summary: We hypothesize that PKDL develop after SSG as well as after Miltefosine mono-therapy for VL; anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10, TGF-β, serum lipids play key role for its pathogenesis & PKDL patients are genetically predisposed; diagnostic tool based on immunofluorescence technique will be more sensitive than slit skin examination for diagnosis of PKDL.
