“…However, the most representative data were in the answers front of the question about the leishmaniasis transmission, because before the lectures only 5.6% stated that it was through the sandfly, and after the lectures this index increased to 75.7%. This result highlights the precariousness of information about VL among survey respondents and corroborate with the results of Lobo et al (2013) in Caxias-MA, where there was an increase of 52.4% among students who stated that the bite of the insect vector was the main transmission form of the VL after lecture on the topic. The data found in the research from As well as other diseases, the knowledge about leishmaniasis is generally restricted to individuals who have experienced the disease or have had relatives or neighbors with the disease (UCHOA et al, 2004).…”

This objective of this work was to assess the knowledge of students in public schools about rabies and leishmaniasis, through educational interventions. A total of 628 questionnaires were applied in public students from Apodi, Felipe Guerra and Severiano Melo. The questionnaires were administered before and after the educational interventions in the form of lectures. The data were discussed through a descriptive analysis. Before the presentation, 53.9% of students claimed to know the transmission mode of leishmaniasis and after, this percentage increased to 92.2%. However, before the lectures, only 6.0% of respondents associated the transmission to sandflies, and after, this percentage increased to 75.7%. For rabies, before the lectures, 63.7% of students reported knowing how rabies is transmitted and, after the lectures, 92.8% said how it was the transmission. Concerning the transmission, before the presentations, 68.3% reported that it was through bite or injury of animals and, after the lectures, the index increased to 80.4%. In conclusion, the student´s perception of public education on rabies and leishmaniasis was higher in all aspects addressed after educational intervention compared to the same questions about the knowledge of the disease before the intervention. It also concludes that the perception of students for rabies is greater than for leishmaniasis.KEYWORDS: education, school, extension, public health, zoonoses.

“…No caso apresentado, após a confirmação diagnóstica pela biópsia, o caso foi conduzido por equipe médica em ambiente hospitalar, que optou por não realizar nenhum tratamento local, e neste caso, a forma Lipossomal da Anfotericina B foi o medicamento de escolha para o tratamento, por agir especificamente sobre células-alvo (macrófagos), incorporando ao meio intracelular e assim reduzindo efeitos colaterais 21 . Porém, apesar da alta eficácia da Anfotericina 22 , este paciente apresentou episódio de recidiva, sendo necessário aumentar a dose do medicamento para sua total recuperação.…”
