leishmaniasis/アルブミン

Visceral leishmaniasis is associated with the reduced survival of erythrocytes, the cause of which remains to be fully explored. Here, we described the mechanism underlying the shortened lifespan of erythrocytes in visceral leishmaniasis and proposed a combination therapy with quercetin and hamster

Hydrophilic albumin microspheres are proposed as a new delivery system for amphotericin B (AMB; AMB microspheres). The acute toxicity of AMB microspheres was lower than that of the AMB-deoxycholate (AMB-Doc) reference formulation in hamsters. Lethal doses in healthy and infected animals were

BACKGROUND Leishmania parasite is an obligate intracellular parasite of the mammalian host and lives inside resident macrophages of liver and spleen. A high dose of paromomycin (PM) is required for the treatment. OBJECTIVE Preparation and in vitro evaluation of PM loaded albumin microspheres (MS)

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common form of leishmaniasis and the available chemotherapy causes serious side effects, justifying the search for new therapies. This study investigated the antileishmanial activity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles containing amphotericin B (AmB)

OBJECTIVE India carries approximately 50 per cent of the global burden of visceral leishmaniasis and majority of patients from the poor, rural communities of Bihar State. Zinc is an essential trace element and its relevance for proper functioning of the entire immune system is already well

Plasma essential trace elements, selenium, copper, zinc, and iron concentrations and the levels of immunoregulatory cytokines, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2r), IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were evaluated in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis

The aim of this study was to find correlations between haematological and rheological parameters in canine visceral leishmaniasis (CLV). Enrolled dogs with CVL (n=31) had a confirmed diagnosis using the rapid test Dual Path Platform (TR DPP®) kit and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay. A control

This study examined the relationship between two serologic assays which quantify anti-Leishmania antibodies (a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a time-resolved immunofluorometric assay (TR-IFMA)) and selected acute phase proteins (APPs) and analytes related to protein

The role of the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) system and nutritional status was studied in 241 children from a Brazilian area endemic for visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Thirty-nine children had the active form, 20 were oligosymptomatic, 38 were asymptomatic and 144 were not infected. Serum

OBJECTIVE Most patients who developed visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in our country are ímmunocompromised (IC) host, frequently HIV-infected patients. One objective was to know if there were differences about the clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests or prognosis in IC patients who were infected or

UNASSIGNED Leishmaniasis is the prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Demonstration of Leishman-Donovan (LD) bodies in the bone marrow aspirates (BMA) is vital to diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). In the present study, we studied the clinicohematological parameters

To analyze the epidemiological and clinical data of an imported case of visceral leishmaniasis in Henan Province, and explore the method of laboratory diagnosis of kala-azar.

The epidemiological and clinical data of an imported visceral

Clinical and laboratory risk factors for death from visceral leishmaniasis (VL) are relatively known, but quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) might assess the role of parasite load in determining clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors, including

In the present work, paromomycin-loaded albumin microspheres (PM-MS) have been formulated for passive targeting of paromomycin (PM) to macrophages, for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). PM-MS were prepared by spray-drying method with a mean particle size of ≈ 3 µm. Thermal and chemical
