Eficácia do sulfato de aminosidine na leishmaniose visceral grave, resistente ao tratamento com antimonial pentavalente

Abstract: Descreve-se um caso de calazar grave resistente a dez cursos de antimonial petitavalente (glucantime) à base de 20mg de SWkg/dia, que respondeu favoravelmente ao sulfato de aminosidine intramuscular na dose de 20mg/kg/dia por 2 0 dias, repetido após 20 dias. O parasitismo esplénico passou de 5 0 parasitos por campo a 3 parasitos em 10 campos logo após a primeira série de sulfato de aminosidine, tornando-se negativo depois de sete meses. A melhora clínica foi imediata, com redução gradual da hepatoesplenomegali… Show more

“…Chunge et al studied several regimens for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis and concluded that “treatment with aminosidine [paromomycin] alone was the cheapest and safest regime.”57 A 21-day course of 20 mg per kilogram of body weight per day should be used as first-line treatment for visceral leishmaniasis 5861. A reduction of liver and spleen size can be observed an average of 2 years after treatment, and the weight gain seen among patients taking this drug is a sign of a good response 61. Generally, the complete disappearance of the parasite can be seen 6 to 7 months after drug administration 62.…”

“…[22] Low cost, fewer side-effects, better efficacy and shorter duration of administration make this drug popular and thought to be a candidate for the first line therapy for VL patients. [23242526] It belongs to the aminoglycoside group of antibiotic; hence, the mechanism of action is by inhibition of protein synthesis. There are several clinical trials undergoing to know the efficacy results of this drug by different routes.…”
