Leishmaniasis is an important vector-borne disease, and it is classified as one of the most important tropical fly-borne infections. This disease can cause two types of clinical manifestations: cutaneous forms and visceral forms. Visceral leishmaniasis, which is also called kala-azar, is a very serious infection that can be fatal. The management of visceral leishmaniasis requires informed diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Continuous research and development regarding the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis had led to many improvements. Paromomycin is a relatively new antibiotic drug that has been used for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis for several years. This article reviews and discusses the use of paromomycin for visceral leishmaniasis therapy.
利什曼病是一种重要的经媒介传播的疾病,被归类为最重要的热带虫媒传染病之一。这种疾病可引起两种类型的临床表现:皮肤型和内脏型。内脏利什曼病,也称为黑热病,是一种非常严重的感染,可能致命。内脏利什曼病的管理需要明智的诊断和治疗方法。对内脏利什曼病治疗的持续研究和开发带来了许多改进。巴龙霉素是一种相对较新的抗生素药物,已用于治疗内脏利什曼病数年。本文综述和讨论了巴龙霉素治疗内脏利什曼病的应用。
