Global situation Leishmaniasis threatens 350 million people
in 88 countries of the world
Burden: Estimated cases: 2.5 million, Incidence 500,000/year, 59,000 deaths/year
Over 90% of VL cases occur in Indian sub-continent (Bangladesh, India and Nepal: 66%),
Kala-azar affects largely the socially marginalized and the poorest communities
2
According to the RTAG, 2004 VL burden of
21 cases/10,000 among sampled
population in Indian sub-continent was
found.
Accordingly, a total of 420,000 Kala-azar
cases out of 200 million population at risk.
But only 25,000-40,000 cases and 200-
300 deaths due to VL are reported.
So the disease is highly under-reported
and neglected 3
Question: Researchers expect the area susceptible to Leishmaniasis to increase over time, why?
4
In late 1970s Kala-azar re-emerged sporadically
During 1981-85 only 8 upazilas reported Kala-azar, which increased to 105 upazilas in 2004.
Number of reported cases increased from 3978 in 1993 to 8505 in 2005.
In 2013 : 1428 cases and 02 deaths were reported
5
By 2015 Bangladesh, India, and Nepal committed to eliminate Kala-azar
In May 2005 Three countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), in Geneva during the World Health Assembly
Countries agreed to adopt and implement Elimination program
Kala-azar Elimination Program was launched in 9th May, 2008

2013 ReportingHyperendemic Upazilas:

The impact objective is to reduce the incidence of Kala-azar to less than 1 case of Kala-azar and Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis per 10,000 population upazila level by:
Reducing the incidence of Kala-azar in the endemic communities including the poor, vulnerable and un-reached populations.
Reducing case fatality rates from Kala-azar.
Treatment of Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) to reduce the parasite reservoir.
Prevention and treatment of Kala-azar-HIV-TB co-infections. 10
Early diagnosis and complete
treatment
Integrated vector management
Effective disease surveillance
Social mobilization and
partnerships
Operational research 11
According to updated National Kala-azar treatment Guideline recommended drugs are
Inj. Liposomal Amphotericin B (AmBisome)
Cap. Miltefosine Now all PKA and PKDL Cases are treated
in Endemic Upazila Health Complexes. In all endemic Upazilas Rapid Diagnostic
test (rk39) and Cap. Miltefosine are kept available
Training and refresher training on Kala-azar management for doctors and Nurses are going on every year
12
o Most effective but costly injectable drug
oBangladesh government received 14500
Inj. AmBisome from WHO
o Now 10 Upazilas are using Inj,
AmBisome for treating Primary Kala-azar.
o In 2013 about 554 cases of PKA were
treated with Inj. AmBisome and 730 cases
of PKDL with Cap. Miltefosine13
Patient is treating with Inj. AmBisome in Fulbaria Upazila Health Complex

Inj. AmBisome
Indoor Residual Spray (IRS):
Used insectiside is Deltamethrin
Provision of 6 round of IRS
Piloting was done at Fulbaria in 2011
Al ready 4 rounds of IRS were done
Among them 4 rounds were done in 8 hyper-
endemic areas.
1 round in moderate and low endemic areas.
