KALA-AZAR

 

Three children diagnosed with potentially fatal disease in Kavala

 

A two-and-a-half-year-old boy from Paggaio in Kavala is the third

child in the region over the past few days to be diagnosed with the

parasitic disease visceral leishmaniasis (also known as kala-azar)

which is transmitted by sandflies preying on dogs and mice and can be

fatal if untreated, the Athens News Agency reported yesterday. The

boy is being treated in Kavala's General Hospital, the ANA said. The

disease is difficult to diagnose as its symptoms in humans, ranging

from fever and substantial weight loss to lesions across the body,

are similar to those of many common diseases
