AI-generated Abstract
The resurgence of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Gujarat, India, presents a critical public health concern following a long period without reported cases. This case study details the experiences of a 25-year-old male who, after relocating to Anand district in Gujarat, developed symptoms consistent with VL, leading to a diagnosis following extensive investigation. Treatment with amphotericin B resulted in clinical improvement, prompting discussions around potential ecological and epidemiological factors contributing to the re-emergence of VL in a region previously believed to be free of the disease.
