Area of Science:

  • Tropical medicine
  • Parasitology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Leishmaniasis is a significant global health concern caused by intracellular parasites transmitted via sand fly bites.
  • The disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, including Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Mediterranean.
  • Annually, 1.5 to 2 million new cases emerge, with 350 million individuals at risk and an estimated 70,000 deaths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of leishmaniasis, encompassing its etiology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment.
  • To highlight the current therapeutic landscape and the efficacy of available treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on leishmaniasis.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data and clinical case studies.
  • Evaluation of treatment outcomes for various therapeutic agents.

Main Results:

  • Clinical presentations vary widely, from localized cutaneous leishmaniasis to life-threatening visceral leishmaniasis, influenced by parasite species and host immunity.
  • Pentavalent antimonials are identified as the sole effective treatment option currently available.

Conclusions:

  • Leishmaniasis remains a major public health challenge requiring ongoing research and intervention strategies.
  • The reliance on pentavalent antimonials underscores the need for alternative and novel therapeutic approaches to combat this disease.
