- Definition "form of leishmaniasis [ IATE:1686062 ] characterized by high fever, substantial weight loss, swelling of the spleen and liver, and anaemia" Reference "World Health Organization > Health topics > Leishmaniasis, http://www.who.int/topics/leishmaniasis/en/ [13.9.2011]"
- Comment "If left untreated, the disease can have a fatality rate as high as 100% within two years.The other main form of leishmaniasis is cutaneous leishmaniasis [ IATE:1511134 ][Leonard] Roger's assertion that the kala-azar epidemic in Assam was an extension of the epidemic fever of North Bengal cannot go unchallenged; nor is it tenable to maintain that the outbreak of Burdwan fever [ IATE:1196184 ] in 1863-74 was a kala-azar epidemic. This will probably remain a matter of controversy until a direct connection between the two is established.COM-EN, based on:Pati, B, Harrison, M.
