- Abstract
In the past 5-7 years, there has been an increase in the incidence of visceral leishmaniasis. In the available literature we have found no information on the use of ultrasound study (USS) in visceral leishmaniasis. This paper characterizes the state of parenchymatous organs by USS in patients with visceral leishmaniasis before and after a complete course of specific treatment and at convalescence that is 10-12 months according to the data of our follow-up.
