Strategies for reducing the risk of transfusion-transmitted leishmaniasis in an area endemic for Leishmania infantum: a patient- and donor-targeted approach. Open
L. infantum-infected donors can remain asymptomatic for at least 3 years. In our region, no cases of TTL were detected, despite an active search in multiply transfused patients. This seems to be related to two independent variables: (i) a …

P683 Leishmania infantum asymptomatic infection in inflammatory bowel disease patients under anti-TNF-α treatment Open
Background: Clinical manifestations of leishmaniasis vary depending on parasite virulence and host immune response. While immunocompetent individuals have an effective Leishmania-specific response that makes the infection asymptomat…

Multilocus microsatellite typing of Leishmania infantum isolates in monitored Leishmania/HIV coinfected patients Open
Our data indicated a great MLMT variability between isolates from coinfected patients and no predominant genotype was observed. Despite this, almost all clinical episodes could be interpreted as a relapse rather than a reinfection. The res…
