<x-tab> </x-tab>The
organizers of the site
(<a href="http://www.leishmaniasis.info">www.leishmaniasis.info</a>) are
to be congratulated on its excellent content and quality. <br>
However I would
just like to draw attention to its treatment section which is in my
opinion misleading because it superficially implies that it is
successful. This is corrected in the FAQ number 4<font size=2>
<i>"<a name="#4"></a>What treatments can be offered to dogs with
CanL<a name="#4"></a>? How long does treatment last? Is it
expensive?"</i> </font>which gives a more realistic appraisal
of treatment. <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Why try to
treat a dog if the "cure rate" is so poor? What is
perhaps more important is that there is potentially a tremendous danger
that this will result in drug resistance. In this respect there is
a great difference between treating a dog in Glasgow than one in endemic
areas such as Minas Gerais or Bahia in Brazil! <br><br>
