The target of kala-azar elimination was initially set in 2010 and was later extended several times to finally be fixed in 2020, which also passed without success. However, in 2022, India had come very close to complete elimination by achieving a 98.7% decline in kala-azar cases. While, at the final moments of achieving the long-awaited target of elimination of kala-azar from India, the unexpected rise in the case-fatality rate from 2017 needs to be addressed.
黑热病消除目标最初于2010年设定,后来多次延期,最终确定在2020年,但也未成功实现。然而,在2022年,印度已非常接近完全消除,黑热病病例下降了98.7%。同时,在实现从印度消除黑热病这一期待已久的目标的最后时刻,2017年以来病死率意外上升的问题需要得到解决。
