Visceral leishmaniasis
● Ratio asymptomatic- symptomatic: geografical difference
– Soedan: 1.6 :1 ( Zijlstra)
– Brasil: 8-18:1
– Bangladesh: 5:1 Bern C, Haque R, Chowdhury R, Ali M, Kurkjian KM, Vaz L, Amann J, Wahed MA, Wagatsuma Y, Breiman RF,

In areas endemic for VL, many people have asymptomatic infection. A concomitant HIV infection increases the risk of developing active VL by between 100 and 2320 times.

Visceral leishmaniasis
Immunosuppression and leishmaniasis:
– Corticosteroids; leukemia; transplants
– HIV co-infections:
› In southern Europe, up to 70% of cases of visceral leishmaniasis in adults are associated with HIV infection.
● Post Kala Azar dermal leishmaniasis
– unusual dermatosis occurring following an attack of visceral leishmaniasis (VL)
– Disfiguring
– starts around the mouth ; spreads to other parts of the body depending on severity.
– It is mainly seen in Sudan and India where it follows treated VL in 50% and 5-10% of cases, respectively.
– The interval at which PKDL follows VL is 0-6 months in Sudan and 2-3 years in India Zijlstra EE, Musa AM, Khalil EA, el-Hassan IM, el-Hassan AM Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis. Lancet Infect Dis. 2003 Feb;3(2):87-98.

Distribution of laboratory or pathologically confirmed cutaneous (A) and visceral (B) leishmania patients in the Netherlands from 1996 to 2007.
Laboratory: Cutaneous leishmania patients were confirmed with a PCR result in their skin biopt and Visceral
patients were confirmed by a positive PCR result or positive microscopy and/or a positive serology result.
Pathologic: Leishmania patients confirmed by microscopic examination of tissue material from biopsies.

Outbreak of Leishmania near Madrid
N=149 cases ofcutaneous leishmaniasis
● A peak in the age range between 46 and 60 years
● Men = women.
Lesions 2 and 6 months
● erythematous plaques and papules without crusts (52% of cases).
● Lesions were most often located in sun-exposed areas and were multiple in 57% of patients.

Outbreak of Leishmania near Madrid
● In 67% of cases, the histological study showed non-necrotizing granulomatous dermatitis with no evidence of parasites using conventional staining methods.
● Diagnosis was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 98% of patients.
● In the remaining cases, the histological study revealed Leishman-Donovan bodies in the skin.
● Intralesional pentavalent antimonials were the most commonly used drugs (76% of cases) and produced satisfactory results. ESCMID Online Lectu

Dogs as risk for Leishmania
CONCLUSIONS:
● The examination of 4,681 dogs living in Germany showed pathogens like L. infantum that are non-endemic in Germany. Furthermore, the German data are similar in terms of multiple pathogen infection to the data recorded for dogs from Portugal. Based on these findings the importation of dogs from endemic predominantly Mediterranean regions to Germany as well as travelling with dogs to these regions carries a significant risk of acquiring an infection. Thus we would conclude that pet owners seek advice of the veterinarians prior to importing a dog from an endemic area or travel to such areas. In general, it might be advisable to have a European recording system for translocation of dogs.

Case
● Congenital leishmaniasis ?
● Local transmission?
– The child lives near military airport; dog brigades to Afganistan are shipped from this airport
● Mother: serology negative: DAT: <1:800\
– No biopsy
● Child:
– Guthrie card 2009:
› serology negative;
› PCR negative
› PCR Kinetoplast (more sensitive): negative
– BM 2011: histology positive; PCR positive

Case
● Dogs : 2 family dogs negative serology
– No biopsy
– Note: negative serology in asymptomatic dog does not rule out Leishmaniasis
● local transmission unknown source?
● Military dogs: 20 dogs tested: 5 different samples per dog; serology and PCR : 1 dog : serology inclear; all samples PCR negative (dogs are not routinely checked after a mission)
● Vector- Unknown if there is a Phlebothomus species capable of transmission in present in the Netherlands.
