  • Title: [Treatment of mucosal leishmaniasis with aminosidine sulfate: results of two year follow-up].
    Author: Romero GA, Lessa HA, Orge MG, Macêdo VO, Marsden PD.
    Journal: Rev Soc Bras Med Trop; 1998; 31(6):511-6. PubMed ID: 9859693.
    Abstract:
    In 1996, 20 of 21 patients with mucosal leishmaniasis, treated in 1994 with aminosidine sulfate, 16mg/kg/day salt, by intramuscular injection for 20 days, were clinically evaluated. One patient died due to disease not related to mucosal leishmaniasis. Seven of 14 patients (66.7% N = 21) who achieved complete remission three months after treatment remained clinically cured 24 months later and seven relapsed in the same period (50% N = 14). Sorological follow-up showed poor correlation with the results of clinical examination.
