Visceral leishmaniasis

1. Poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy raises the risk of visceral leishmaniasis in humans (p = 0.0008).

   “Poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (p = 0.0008) or prior opportunistic infections (p = 0.0007) was associated with development of AIDS/VL in asymptomatic HIV/Leish.”

1. Leishmania infantum infection is associated with visceral leishmaniasis in humans (RR 2.27, 95% CI 0.920-5.59, p = 0.07).

   “The relative risk of developing AIDS/VL was 2.27 (95% CI: 0.920 to 5.59; p = 0.07) to HIV/Leish coinfected subjects with positive leishmania serology compared to HIV subjects without leishmania serology.”
