Rising case-fatality rate of kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis) in India: An unexpected challenge to the kala-azar elimination program?
The target of kala-azar elimination was initially set in 2010 and was later extended several times to finally be fixed in 2020, which also passed without success. However, in 2022, India had come very close to complete elimination by achieving a 98.7% decline in kala-azar cases. While, at the final moments of achieving the long-awaited target of elimination of kala-azar from India, the unexpected rise in the case-fatality rate from 2017 needs to be addressed.
