Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been reported in the last decade from the hilly state of Uttarakhand, India. We report 47 cases from the non-endemic Garhwal region of this state which, over the last 10 years, were treated successfully. We conclude that the transmission cycle of VL is established in this region. Effective vector control measures are warranted to prevent the disease becoming a health problem, albeit not a major one given its excellent response to drugs.
过去十年间，印度北阿坎德邦的山区已报告有内脏利什曼病（VL）。我们报告了该邦非流行区加瓦尔地区的47例病例，这些病例在过去10年中均得到成功治疗。我们得出结论，VL的传播周期已在该地区确立。鉴于VL对药物反应良好，虽不会成为重大健康问题，但仍有必要采取有效的病媒控制措施以预防该病。
