  • Title: Outbreak of kala-azar in Bombay.
    Author: Bhatia S, Patel N, Gulhane S, Dongre V, Jijina FF, Pathare AV.
    Journal: J Postgrad Med; 1995; 41(1):3-4. PubMed ID: 10740690.
    Abstract:
    A chance diagnosis of kala-azar in a patient referred from Acworth Leprosy Home in Bombay was followed up, resulting in an investigation of a total of 25 patients (inpatients and residents) for the presence of the disease. 30.3% of the patients investigated were found to be suffering from the disease. This confirms the earlier suspicion that Bombay and especially the Acworth Leprosy Home is an endemic area for kala-azar.
