Visceral Leishmaniasis, Tropical diseases, Neglected diseasesResumo
Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (HVL) is caused by obligate intracellular protozoa of the genus Leishmania which, depending on the species, results in different clinical manifestations, treatments, and prognosis. Considered a neglected tropical disease and, because it represents a high severity index and a high lethality rate in humans, in addition to the wide geographic distribution of vector transmission, it is necessary to pay attention to compulsory notifications, health education measures and effective disease prevention, collaborating in the control and eradication of the disease.
