Leishmania infantum is the most frequent cause of visceral leishmaniasis and L. tropica has been rarely linked to the disease in Iran. In this study, bone marrow aspirates were collected from 10 child patients, suspected with visceral leishmaniasis referred to the Pediatric Wards of Kerman Medical Hospitals, Kerman, Iran during 2002-2011. Leishmania species were identified by using nested PCR in all slides. The PCR samples from nine patients indicated L. infantum as principal causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis and one L.tropica as a minor species.
婴儿利什曼原虫是内脏利什曼病最常见的病因,而热带利什曼原虫在伊朗很少与该病相关。在本研究中,于2002年至2011年期间,从转诊至伊朗克尔曼市克尔曼医科医院儿科病房的10名疑似内脏利什曼病的儿童患者中采集了骨髓穿刺液。在所有载玻片上通过巢式PCR鉴定利什曼原虫种类。9名患者的PCR样本表明婴儿利什曼原虫是内脏利什曼病的主要病原体,1名患者的样本显示热带利什曼原虫为次要病原体。
