MedlinePlus: Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease spread by the bite of infected sand flies. there are several different forms of leishmaniasis. the most common are cutaneous and visceral. the cutaneous type causes skin sores. the visceral type affects internal organs such as the spleen, liver and bone marrow. people with this form usually have fever, weight loss and an enlarged spleen and liver.
leishmaniasis is found in parts of about 88 countries. most of these countries are in the tropics and subtropics. it is possible but very unlikely that you would get this disease in the united states. but you should be aware of it if you are traveling to the middle east or parts of central america, south america, asia, africa or southern europe.
the best way to prevent the disease is to protect yourself from sand fly bites. if not treated, leishmaniasis can be serious. visceral disease can be deadly.

MalaCards: Leishmaniasis, also known as leishmaniasis, unspecified (disorder), is related to visceral leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis. An important gene associated with Leishmaniasis is KAZA (Kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis), susceptibility to), and among its related pathways are Jak-STAT signaling pathway and Akt Signaling. The drugs itraconazole and ketoconazole and the compounds thyroxine and vitamin a have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone marrow, whole blood and spleen, and related mouse phenotypes are endocrine/exocrine gland and respiratory system. Disease Ontology: A parasitic protozoa infectious disease that involves infection caused by protozoan parasite of the genus leishmania, which is transmitted by the bite of sand fly (subfamily phlebotominae).6 NIH Rare Diseases: Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease spread by the bite of infected sand flies. There are several different forms of leishmaniasis. The most common are cutaneous and visceral. The cutaneous type causes skin sores. The visceral type affects internal organs such as the spleen, liver and bone marrow. People with this form usually have fever, weight loss, and an enlarged spleen and liver. Visceral disease can be deadly without proper treatment. Leishmaniasis is found in parts of the Middle East, Central America, South American, Asia, Africa, and southern Europe. Most of these countries are in the tropics and subtropics. It is possible but very unlikely to get this disease in the United States.30 CDC: Leishmaniasis includes two major diseases, cutaneous leishmaniasis and visceral leishmaniasis, caused by more than 20 different leishmanial species.2 Wikipedia: Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites that belong to the genus Leishmania and is...44 more... |
