Abstract

Pentavalent antimony containing drugs and liposomal amphotericin B, the only drug currently approved by the U.S. FDA are recommended as the initial choice of treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. Limited data suggest that amphotericin B lipid complex is also effective. Drug toxicity, treatment failures and relapses after treatment limit the use of pentavalent antimony compounds. In this study, the outcome of two patients in whom liposomal amphotericin B and one patient in whom amphotericin B lipid complex are used because of unavailability of pentavalent antimony compounds are presented.

Özet

Viseral layşmanyoz (VL) tedavisinde, pentavalan antimon bileşikleri ve FDA onayı almış olan lipozomal amfoterisin B başlangıç tedavisinde önerilen seçeneklerdir. Amfoterisin B lipit kompleksinin de etkili olduğuna ilişkin sınırlı bilgi vardır. İlaç toksitesi, tedavi başarısızlıkları ve relapslar pentavalen antimon bileşiklerinin kullanımını sınırlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, pentavalan antimon bileşikleri sağlanamadığı için yeni bir tedavi seçeneği olarak amfoterisin B lipit kompleksi ve lipozomal amfoterisin B ile tedavi edilen üç olgu sunulmuştur.
