Abstract

Kala-azar is a re-emerging global problem. Recent years have shown a notable improvement in both morbidity and mortality in patients with Kala-azar. Much of this benefit is derived from the use of the newer therapeutic agents. Among these Amphotericin-B deoxycholate for the treatment of resistant Kala-azar is very effective and offer many advantages. We report a case of resistant Kala-azar where we used Amphotericin-B deoxycholate and it showed a very good clinical and parasitological response.
