Re: NVBDCP Guidelines On Diagnosis And Treatment Of Kala-Azar
Don’t worry I will tell you National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, Guidelines On Diagnosis And Treatment Of Kala-Azar. Diagnosis Clinical: A case of fever of more than 2 weeks duration not responding to antimalarials and antibiotics. Clinical laboratory findings may include anaemia, progressive leucopenia thrombocytopenia and hypergammaglobulinemia Laboratory: Serology tests: Variety of tests are available for diagnosis of Kala-azar. The most commonly used tests based on relative sensitivity; specificity and operationally feasibility include Direct Agglutination Test (DAT), rk39 dipstick and ELISA. Aldehyde Test is commonly used but it is a non-specific test. IgM detecting tests are under development and not available for field use. Parasite demonstration in bone marrow/spleen/lymphnode aspiration or in culture medium is the confirmatory diagnosis. Though spleen aspiration has the highest sensitivity and specificity (considered gold standard) but a skilled professional with appropriate precaustions can perform it only at a good hospital facility. Differential Diagnosis: Typhoid Miliary tuberculosis Malaria Brucellosis Amoebic liver abscess Infectious mononucleosis Lymphoma, Leukemia Tropical splenomegaly Portal hypertension Treatment Kala-azar Drugs available in India Sodium Stibogluconate (indigenous manufacture, registered for use & sale) Pentamidine Isethionate: (imported, registered for use) Amphotericin B: (indigenous manufacture, registered for use and sale) Liposomal Amphotericin B: (indigenous manufacture & import, registered for use and sale) Miltefosine (imported/ registered for use & sale) Drug Policy under Kala-azar Elimination Programme as per recommendations of Expert Committee (2000) – (This drug policy is under review) First Line Drugs A.
