Clinical Investigation of Infections Due to Leishmanial Parasites

Completed

Conditions studied: Leishmaniasis, Leishmaniasis, Visceral

In brief

Mechanisms of host immune response to intracellular protozoa will be investigated in patients with naturally acquired infection employing a variety of in-vitro techniques. Both non-specific and antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses will be assessed. Parasites will be isolated from patients, cultivated in-vitro, and characterized. Responses to chemotherapy will be assessed parasitologically, immunologically and clinically.
