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。
