Summary

Leishmanias is a disease caused by the bite of sandflies and is found in many parts of the world including the Europe, Southwest Asia, Africa and the Middle East. This disease is a threat for military soldiers in areas where this disease is found. Sodium stibogluconate (SSG) or Pentostam (Glaxo Smith Kline, United Kingdom) is an Investigational New Drug (IND) product used by the Department of Defense for over 20 years to treat cutaneous, mucosal and viseral leishmanias. This drug is not licensed for commercial use in the United States because of very limited need for the product in the U.S.A. The objective of this protocol is to provide sodium stibogluconate for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis and mucosal leishmaniasis (pentavalent antimonials curently considered the drug of choice for these infections) Provide sodium stibogluconate as a second line treatment for viscerotropic and visceral leishmaniasis (liposomal amphotericin is the drug of choice for these types as it is FDA approved for vusceral leishmaniasis).
