> Increase in cases of visceral leishmaniasis, Campo Grande
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
> >From January [2015] until [20 Oct 2015], there were 181 confirmed
> cases and 8 deaths. Deaths were in Campo Grande (2), Corumba (4),
> Jardim (1), and Ladario (1) [Mato Grosso do Sul state].

> In 2014, there were 181 cases with 11 deaths recorded in Aquidauana
> (1), Campo Grande (6), Corumba (3) and Sao Gabriel do Oeste (1) [Mato
> Grosso do Sul state].

> In July [2015], a study showed that Campo Grande, with 55 cases, was
> among the 4 cities in the country with the highest number of cases of
> leishmaniasis in humans. The number is considered worrisome and was
> reported in the PhD animal science lecture of Francisco Anilton
> Araujo
> held at UFMS (Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul) during the
> National Week for Combating Visceral Leishmaniasis.

> 2015 Aug 14;9(8):e0003982). The main findings were that 36.6 percent

> and HIV/AIDS co-infection (7.33, 1.22-43.98).
