Article Synopsis
- Leishmaniases, including the severe visceral leishmaniasis (VL), are neglected infectious diseases primarily found in the Americas, particularly in Brazil, which accounts for a significant proportion of cases.
- The paper presents three cases of VL co-infected with HIV, where patients showed skin lesions similar to para-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis, highlighting severe symptoms like fever and organ enlargement.
- The study emphasizes the need for effective follow-up and preventive measures in VL patients to improve treatment outcomes and provides valuable insights into managing para-KDL cases in Brazil.
