Abstract

Background and Aim: VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS is a systemic parasitic disease with a high fatality rate in under-5-year-old CHILDREN. The disease is endemic in some parts of IRAN, particularly in the north-west region. In 2001 a VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS (VL) surveillance system was established for CHILDREN aged £12 years in the primary health system in Meshkin-Shahr District, Ardebil Province, situated in the north-west of Islamic Republic of IRAN.Materials and Methods: All cases with clinical signs and symptoms of VL and confirmed positive by the DIRECT AGGLUTINATION TEST (DAT) were referred for physical examination and treatment.Results: The mean annual incidence of VL decreased significantly from 1.88 per 1000 CHILDREN before (1985-2000), to 0.77 per 1000 child population after (2001-07), the intervention. In the control area with no surveillance, it increased from 0.11 to 0.23 per 1000.Conclusion: Early detection of VL using serological tests and timely treatment of cases can decrease the mortality and morbidity rates of VL in endemic areas.
