Diagnosis of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis and treatment outcomes following carbon dioxide cryotherapy performed by health centre staff
In Ethiopia, the incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is estimated to range from 20, 000–30, 000 new cases due to Leishmania aethiopica . Children and young adults, in rural communities with limited access to health care are most affected. The current standard of care, pentavalent sodium stibogluconate is only administered in specialist centres, has limited effectiveness and is associated with severe adverse effects. Cryotherapy is recommend…
Understanding experiences of neglected tropical diseases of the skin
BACKGROUND: The WHO and Ethiopia's Ministry of Health have developed strategies to expand and integrate services for co-endemic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) which manifest in the skin. To inform these strategies, we aimed to understand the social, economic and health system context of skin NTD care in Kalu woreda, Amhara region, Ethiopia, where cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and leprosy are endemic. METHODS: Between October 2020 and May 2022,…
Ethnographic study of Buruli ulcer wound management practices in a traditional therapeutic setting in Ghana
Our findings suggest that the traditional healer enjoyed substantial public legitimacy from his clients due to his perceived interest in helping affected individuals achieve cures using culturally and financially appropriate ways to manage wounds. However, we also observed the use of non-sterile procedures and unregulated preparations, which may be potentially deleterious. The willingness of the traditional healer to collaborate with the formal h…
The role of economic factors in shaping and constituting the household burden of neglected tropical diseases of the skin
Tracers of health system equity, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) disproportionately affect marginalized populations. NTDs that manifest on the skin - "skin NTDs" - are associated with scarring, disfigurement, physical disability, social exclusion, psychological distress, and economic hardship. To support development and evaluation of appropriate intervention strategies, we aimed to improve understanding of the role of economic factors in shapi…
Low-cost liquid medium for in vitro cultivation of Leishmania parasites in low-income countries
BACKGROUND: Prompt laboratory diagnosis and initiation of treatment are effective components of leishmaniasis control. Detection of Leishmania parasites by ex-vivo culture of lesion scrapings is considered a definitive diagnostic method preceding initiation of treatment. OBJECTIVE: A pilot study to find alternative medium that could reduce the cost of culturing from patient lesions for diagnosing leishmaniasis. METHOD: GALF-1 medium was formulate…
