The government of Nepal has committed to eliminate visceral leishmaniasis (VL) by 2015. The expansion of VL into new areas would constitute a major obstacle to achieving this goal. We report a series of autochthonous VL cases from areas currently considered non-endemic, mostly in hilly regions of Nepal.
尼泊尔政府承诺到 2015 年消除内脏利什曼病(VL)。VL 向新地区的蔓延将成为实现这一目标的主要障碍。我们报告了一系列来自目前认为非流行地区的本地 VL 病例,主要在尼泊尔的丘陵地区。
