In India, 320 patients with visceral leishmaniasis (209 in the state of Bihar and 11 in the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh) received identical pentavalent antimony (Sb) treatment. Sb induced long-term cure in 35% (95% confidence interval [CI], 28%-42%) of those in Bihar versus 86% (95% CI, 79%-93%) of those in Uttar Pradesh. In Bihar, the center of the Indian epidemic, traditional Sb treatment should be abandoned.
在印度,320名内脏利什曼病患者(比哈尔邦209例,邻近的北方邦11例)接受了相同的五价锑(Sb)治疗。在比哈尔邦,Sb使35%(95%置信区间[CI],28%-42%)的患者获得长期治愈,而在北方邦这一比例为86%(95%CI,79%-93%)。在印度疫情的中心比哈尔邦,应摒弃传统的锑治疗方法。
