Abstract
- Highlights: [•] Sodium antimony gluconate contributes towards the pathogenesis of PKDL. [•] UV light plays a pivotal role in the development of PKDL. [•] Development of PKDL can be viewed as a reinfection or activation of latent Leishmania parasites. [•] PKDL can be resolved by mounting an effective tissue-specific memory T cell response. [•] Host genetic factors play a contributory role. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
