Injecting drug use as risk factor for visceral leishmaniasis in AIDS patients.

C Amela1, D López-Gay, J C Alberdi, J Castilla.   

Abstract

In Madrid Region 6652 AIDS cases were diagnosed between 1982 and 1993. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was present in 166 (2.49%). VL frequency among injecting drug users proved higher than that for the other transmission categories (relative risk 2.57; 95% confidence interval 1.64-4.01). This could point to an alternative Leishmania transmission route via needle sharing.
