RENAL FAILURE AND ANTIMONY

[Odair Genaro]

Marisa, em situacoes como esta de sua paciente com leishmaniose e 
contra-indicacao ao glucantime, posso sugerir que tente a imunoterapia como 
tratamento. Temos tratado inumeros pacientes com uma vacina contra 
leishmaniose tegumentar desenvolvida pelo grupo do Prof. Mayrink, onde 
havia contra-indicacao ao glucantime, inclusive associando ao glucantime 
em paciente HIV positivos com LTA com resultados excelentes. Se voce se 
interessar posso dar maiores detalhes.
Abracos, Genaro
