<div><br></div>
<div>Kala-azar was used when the patients used to turn black. In Hindi kala means black and azar means fever. Due to late treatment of the patients they used to turn black.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>kala azar is a historical term coined in days when the treatment was not readily available.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Nowadays due to prompt and early treatment patients do not turn black.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In place of kala azar I think it would be better to use Indian Visceral Leishmaniasis.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hope this helps.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Regards.<br><br>
