Introduction
Conduction abnormalities as left bundle branch block (LBBB) are common in myocardial disease and contribute to LV dyssynchrony and adverse LV remodeling. The relevance of LBBB in the context of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is unclear. The aim of this study is to find factors that are associated to LBBB in HCM and its impact in prognosis.
Methods
Retrospective single-center study of 36 consecutive patients (pts) with HCM defined by wall thickness≥15 mm in≥1 myocardial segments in CMR; pts with history of uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) and significant valvular disease were excluded.
Demographic, clinical, ECG and CMR data (including ventricular volumes, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and ventricular strain using feature tracking analysis (Circle CVi 42) were analyzed. For statistical analysis X2 test, Mann-Whitney and logistic regression model were used.
Results
Patient’s median age was 63 years (IQR: 49,5-74,8), 64% men. 69% had controlled hypertension, 46% dyslipidemia and 23% diabetes; family history of sudden death and HCM occurred in 16% and 46% respectively. 42% had genetic study and mutations were identified in 25% (TNNT2: 8%; MYBPC3: 6%).
During a mean follow-up (FUP) of 17 ± 11 months, 24% had HF, 3% thromboembolic events, 26% new onset atrial fibrillation, 20% ventricular tachycardia (VT), 29% received an ICD and 3% died.
On ECG evaluation, 33% had intraventricular disturbance conduction with 12% having LBBB, 49% had LVH criteria.
On CMR, 81% had septal hypertrophy, 11% apical, 3% anterior-wall LVH and 6% lateral-wall hypertrophy. LVOTO was present in 33%. 69% of the patients had LGE (midwall: 61%, subendocardial: 11%, subepicardial: 3%; at segments with LVH: 47%, RV/LV insertion points: 25%, other:19.4%); the median LGE was 13.6g (IQR 6.7-22.4) corresponding to 7.4% of the LV mass (IQR 3.7-10.9). The median of the maximal wall thickness was 19mm (IQR 16.9-20.9), median LVEF was 70% (IQR 35-87); median LV indexed mass of 105 g/m2 (IQR 54.9-160.7). The median longitudinal strain in 4 and 2 chambers was -9.1 (IQR 15.6-4.6) and -9.1mm (IQR -16-2.6), respectively and the median radial strain in 4 and 2 chambers was 15.6 (IQR 6.5-28.2) and 13.7 (3.5-30.1), respectively.
Patients with LBBB had more VT and ICD implantation in follow-up (p = 0.038).
The presence of LGE in RV/LV insertion points (p = 0.019) and in the area of higher LVH (p = 0.033) were the only variables associated with LBBB. The area of LGE involving the RV/LV insertion points was an independent predictor of LBBB (p = 0.02, OR 36.0, IC:1.710-757.79).
Conclusion
In our sample, fibrosis in the RV/LV insertion points in CMR was an independent predictor of LBBB, which was associated with ventricular arrhythmias in follow-up. Further prospective studies with larger number of patients are needed to confirm our findings.

Introduction
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), there is a significant contribute of dysrhythmic events (DE) for the burden of morbidity and mortality of the disease. The aim of this study is to assess the arrhythmic profile of HCM patients (pts) and predictors of DE.
Methods
Retrospective single-center study of consecutive pts with HCM defined by wall thickness ≥15 mm in ≥1 LV myocardial segments in CMR; pts with history of uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) and significant valvular disease were excluded. Demographic, clinical, CMR data and outcomes were analyzed. For statistical analysis, chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were used, with prediction of DE (atrial fibrillation (AF); ventricular tachycardia (VT)) and implantation of cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)) with binary logistic regression model.
Results
We included 36 pts, aged 62.5 year-old (IQR: 49,5-74,8), 64% male. 69% had controlled HTN, 46% dyslipidemia and 23% diabetes; family history (FH) of sudden cardiac death and HCM occurred in 16% and 46%, respectively. 9% presented with syncope, 21% with palpitations and 12% with angina. Previous history of AF was present in 12% pts. 42% pts had genetic study and mutations were identified in 25% (TNNT2: 8,3%; MYBPC3:5.6%). All were in sinus rhythm at baseline. On ECG, intraventricular disturbance conduction was found in 33% and T wave inversion in 39%.
On CMR, most pts had septal wall hypertrophy(81%), while 11% had apical, 3% anterior-wall and 6% lateral-wall. SAM was present in 28% and LVOTO in 33%. 69% of the pts had LGE (midwall: 61%, subendocardial: 11%, subepicardial: 3%, at hypertrophic segments: 47%, RV/LV insertion points: 25%, other: 19.4%).
During a mean follow-up of 496 ± 338 days, new onset of AF was found in 26%, VT episodes in 20%, ICD implantation in 29% and 3% died.
There were no associations of clinical data and AF. In univariate analysis, SAM (OR 5.25, CI95% 1.02-26.9, p = 0.047), LVOTO (OR 6.7, CI95% 1.27-35.0, p = 0.025), distribution of LGE on other segments than RV/LV insertion points (OR 9.6, CI95% 1.36-67.6, p = 0.023) and absence of T-wave inversion (OR 0.17, CI95% 0.033-0.937, p = 0.042), predicted AF. The absence of T-wave inversion was the only independent predictor of AF in our population (OR 0.073, CI95% 0.006-0.949, p = 0.045).There were no independent predictors of ventricular arrythmias.
Also, we found that AF predicted VT (OR 6.13, CI95% 1.032-36.45, p = 0.046) in univariate analysis and was an independent predictor for ICD (OR 9.6, CI95% 1.26-67.59, p = 0.023). AF was a predictor of composite outcome (death, heart failure and thromboembolic events) in our population (OR 6.3 CI95% 1.3-31.1, p = 0.024).
Conclusion
In our population, T-wave changes, SAM, LVOTO and LGE distribution were predictors of AF, which was an independent predictor for ICD implantation. No predictors for ventricular arrhythmias were found. Larger studies taking into account echo and CMR data should be conducted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
CLINICAL RELEVANCE Effective methods to control incipient caries lesions are needed. In this investigation, several methods provide encouraging results. SUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate in situ the inhibition of incipient caries lesion progression using different treatment protocols and to evaluate the effectiveness of fluorescence-based methods (DIAGNOdent, DIAGNOdent pen, and VistaProof fluorescence camera [FC]) in monitoring this process. The research was conducted in four phases: (1) at baseline, (2) after a first cariogenic challenge, (3) after treatment modalities, and (4) after a second cariogenic challenge. Sixteen volunteers used intraoral acrylic palatal appliances, each containing six enamel blocks (n=96). The cariogenic challenge was performed using a 20% sucrose solution over a 14-day period. The appliances were removed eight times a day and, upon removal, two drops of the solution were placed onto each enamel block. The enamel blocks were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: fluoride varnish ([FV] Duraphat; n=32), resin infiltrant ([RI] Icon; n=32), and adhesive system ([AS] Scotchbond; n=32). At the end of each phase, the surface microhardness (SMH) was measured, and two trained examiners evaluated the specimens using fluorescence-based methods. In addition, integrated mineral loss (ΔΔZ; vol%.min x μm) and lesion depth (ΔLD; μm) were evaluated using transverse microradiography. A two-way analysis of variance and a Tukey post hoc test were calculated (α=5%). Significant differences in SMH were observed according to the treatment, phases, and interaction of factors (p<0.001). Treatment with FV resulted in significantly higher SMH values in phases 3 and 4 compared to RI and AS, with the last two treatments resulting in similar values (p>0.05). The ΔΔZ value was similar for FV and AS but significantly higher for RI (p=0.016). ΔLD was not significantly different among the groups (p=0.126). Significant differences in the measurement of fluorescence for each fluorescence-based method were observed between each phase of the study (p<0.05). It can be concluded that all treatments were effective in inhibiting the in situ progression of incipient lesions, although to different degrees, with minor mineral loss changes observed for the AS and FV. Besides, all fluorescence-based methods tested, except for that using the FC device, were effective in monitoring caries lesion progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the results of intrastromal arcuate incisions (AIs) and transepithelial AIs to treat corneal astigmatism during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). METHODS This retrospective study included 20 patients with corneal astigmatism between 0.70 and 2.00 diopters (D) who underwent FLACS with concurrent intrastromal AIs in one eye and transepithelial AIs in the fellow eye. The main outcomes measures at 2-3 months of follow-up were the difference between pre-operative and postoperative keratometric corneal cylinder (Kcyl), the correction index (CI) and the percentage of overcorrection. RESULTS The mean difference between preoperative and postoperative Kcyl revealed a mean value of 0.36 ± 0.37 D in the transepithelial group and 0.53 ± 0.42 D in the intrastromal group (p < 0.001). The mean CI was 0.83 ± 0.71 in the transepithelial group and 0.68 ± 0.29 in intrastromal group (p = 0.17). Five eyes (25 %) had an astigmatism overcorrection in the transepithelial group and 1 eye (5%) in the intrastromal group. CONCLUSIONS Both intrastromal and transepithelial AIs showed potential for mild to moderate astigmatism correction and appeared to be a safe procedure. Despite transepithelial AIs presented a higher CI, the intrastromal AIs results were more predictable.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal lung disease that up to now has been associated with a poor prognosis. However, the results of the INPULSIS and ASCEND trials and the approval of nintedanib and pirfenidone have marked the beginning of a new era for IPF patients. Questions remain, however. Should these drugs be used earlier? What effect will they have on more severe disease? Will their effects last beyond the trial period? This manuscript is the outcome of a multidisciplinary meeting between pulmonology, radiology, and pathology clinicians on the use of antifibrotic agents in IPF. In our opinion, the existing data show that pirfenidone and nintedanib slow functional decline in early stages of disease. These drugs also appear to result in therapeutic benefits when administered to patients with advanced disease at diagnosis and maintain effective over time. The data also suggest that continuing antifibrotic therapy after disease progression may confer benefits, but more evidence is needed. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for reducing functional decline, slowing disease progression, and improving quality of life.

Abstract
The VI European Guidelines for Cardiovascular Prevention recommend combining population and high-risk strategies with lifestyle changes as a cornerstone of prevention, and propose the SCORE function to quantify cardiovascular risk. The guidelines highlight disease specific interventions, and conditions as women, young people and ethnic minorities. Screening for subclinical atherosclerosis with noninvasive imaging techniques is not recommended. The guidelines distinguish four risk levels (very high, high, moderate and low) with therapeutic objectives for lipid control according to risk. Diabetes mellitus confers a high risk, except for subjects with type 2 diabetes with less than <10 years of evolution, without other risk factors or complications, or type 1 diabetes of short evolution without complications. The decision to start pharmacological treatment of arterial hypertension will depend on the blood pressure level and the cardiovascular risk, taking into account the lesion of target organs. The guidelines don't recommend antiplatelet drugs in primary prevention because of the increased bleeding risk. The low adherence to the medication requires simplified therapeutic regimes and to identify and combat its causes. The guidelines highlight the responsibility of health professionals to take an active role in advocating evidence-based interventions at the population level, and propose effective interventions, at individual and population level, to promote a healthy diet, the practice of physical activity, the cessation of smoking and the protection against alcohol abuse.

Abstract
The fabrication of ceramics can produce the emission of several gases, denominated exhaust gases, and also vapours resulting from firing processes, which usually contain metals and toxic substances affecting the environment and the health of workers. Especially harmful are the diffuse emissions of CO2, fluorine, chlorine and sulphur from the ceramics industry, which, in highly industrialized areas, can suppose an important emission focus of dangerous effects. Concerning CO2, factories that use carbonate-rich raw materials (>30% carbonates) can emit high concentrations of CO2 to the atmosphere. Thus, carbonate reduction or substitution with other raw materials would reduce the emissions. In this contribution, we propose the addition of Al-shales to the carbonated ceramic materials (marls) for CO2 emission reduction, also improving the quality of the products. The employed shales are inexpensive materials of large reserves in SW-Spain. The ceramic bodies prepared with the addition of selected Al-shale to marls in variable proportions resulted in a 40%-65% CO2 emission reduction. In addition, this research underlines at the same time that the use of a low-price raw material can also contribute to obtaining products with higher added value.

Abstract
Context Hunting transactions can be considered a composite good that includes various attributes or characteristics. Obtaining information regarding the utility derived from the different characteristics of the hunter’s bag might help elucidate the purchasing behaviour of hunters. This behaviour is, in turn, an important aspect to be considered by land managers in adaptive hunting management. Aims The present study attempts to identify the values given by hunters to species, landscape and management in the pricing of the hunter’s bag. Our analysis is focused on the hunting bag characteristics and adds to previous research the joint consideration of the amount and quality (sex, age classes and trophy) of various species in the hunter’s bag. Methods We use a dataset of 740 forest hunting estates at Andalucía (1 162 405 ha in the south of Spain) with an important mixed-species bag composition and where 225 game-hunting marketed transactions were declared by the hunting managers, including 13 541 hunting journeys. Hedonic-price analysis and mixed-effect models are used. Key results Our results showed that the composition of the harvested species (quantity and trophy of different species, sex and age classes), the activities related to harvesting and organisation of hunting events and landscape in hunting areas are relevant attributes in big-game market transactions. In small-game market transactions, species and landscape are the primary significant variables found. The latter variable plays a more important role in small game than in big game. Conclusions These findings indicated that hunting market values include, in addition to hunters’ recreational experience, ecological and management aspects with a broader social scope. Implications A further discussion regarding the possible conflict among hunter preferences, long-term game-management decisions and ecological goals is also provided.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In solitary kidney patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could be effective in achieving complete tumor necrosis without increasing the risk of complications or renal failure. To analyze the outcomes of a group of solitary kidney patients treated for RCC by RFA considering tumor size and location, renal function involvement and complications. METHODS A transversal retrospective study was performed, in which we selected 11 solitary kidney patients with 19 tumors in total treated by RFA for one or more renal tumors. A CT protocol was used for follow up. It included unenhanced series and contrast enhanced series at 1 month, 3-6 months, 12 months and yearly after RFA. Serum creatinine levels of each patient, pre RFA and within the first 48 hours after RFA, were collected. RESULTS Complete ablation was achieved in 17 tumors (89.4%) after one or two RFA sessions. 100% of exophytic and parenchymal tumors, and 3 cm size or smaller, were completely ablated. Renal failure, immediate complications or more than 24 hours hospitalization were not observed in 10 (90.1%) of our patients. CONCLUSIONS RFA treatment for RCC in solitary kidney patients has a high success rate; it does not affect renal function and achieves complete initial tumor necrosis, especially in exophytic, parenchymal and 3 cm or smaller lesions.

Abstract
The authors report the clinical case of a 59 year-old woman who was incidentally diagnosed as having arteriovenous pulmonary malformation (AVPM). Through clinical history a diagnosis of Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (ROWD) was made, a disease manifesting itself through the existence of vascular malformations in the skin, mucosae and viscera (like the lungs, liver and brain). The surgical therapy offered to the patient had no complications. The essential aspects of pathofisiology, clinical manifestations and treatment of AVPM and ROWD are discussed.

Abstract
Epipericardial fat necrosis is an uncommon benign entity of unknown cause, with only 20 cases reported in the English-language literature. It should be remembered as a possible diagnosis in a person who presents with acute pleuritic chest pain and paracardiac density or pleural effusion on chest radiography (X-ray). The computed tomography (CT) or surgical approach allows the final diagnosis and characterization. The authors describe a case of a 48-year-old woman, admitted to our department because of complaints of fatigue, cough and sudden pleuritic pain on thoracic left side. The chest X-ray showed mild/moderate left pleural effusion and CT scan revealed local slight thickening of pericardium and epipericardial fat, surrounded by thick rim of higher density in the left cardiophrenic space. This made the diagnosis of epipericardial fat necrosis. During hospitalization the patient remained stable and was discharged home with symptomatic relieve therapy. Because of benign, self-limited nature of this entity, only conservative treatment is indicated.

Abstract
The authors present the case of a lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) with pleuro-pulmonary involvement. It was a very aggressive primary gastric lymphoma of the MALT subtype, diagnosed in an 86-year-old woman admitted in Pulmonology ward at our Hospital with pleural effusion. Helicobacter pylori search was negative, what is infrequent. The disease was already disseminated at the time of the diagnosis and did not respond to various treatment modalities, what is also an uncommon finding. Clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of this disease are reviewed, pointing out its unique features and comparing the particular aspects of this case with the published literature. The authors stress that LPD is an important diagnosis to be held in mind in the case of a pleural effusion of unknown aetiology.

Abstract
Intravascular lymphoma is a very rare form of large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, characterised by the presence of lymphoma cells in the lumina of small vessels only, particularly in the capillaries. We report a 54 year-old female non-smoker, admitted to hospital for further examination of a four month long clinical condition involving high fever, night sweats, unqualified weight loss and progressive dyspnea. Patient's temperature was 38.5 degrees C, pulse 100/min and respiratory 22 cycles/min. Patient's haemoglobin was 9.4 g/dL, she had leukocytosis, elevated LDH and arterial blood gas analysis with moderate hypoxaemia (FiO2 1l/m: PaO2-63.6 mm Hg). Chest X-ray revealed diffuse interstitial changes. All the possible causes of unknown origin fever were excluded. Diagnosis was made through lung biopsy and treatment with combined chemotherapy and rituximab was prescribed leading to a 48 hours clinical remission. We present this case to show how difficult this diagnosis can be and how a good response to therapy is possible.

Abstract
Endoscopic capsule is a recent medical technology with important clinical benefits but suffering from a practical handicap: long exam annotation times. This paper proposes and compares two approaches (Bayesian and support vector machines) that can be used to segment the gastrointestinal tract into its four major topographic areas, allowing the automatic estimation of the clinically relevant gastric and intestinal sections and corresponding transit times. According to medical specialists, this can reduce exam annotation times by up to 12% (15 min). This automatic tool has been integrated into our CapView annotation software that is currently being used by three medical institutions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assessment of HIV prevalence and associated risk behaviours among female commercial sex workers (FCSW) across major cities in South America. METHODS Seroepidemiological, cross sectional studies of 13 600 FCSW were conducted in nine countries of South America during the years 1999-2002. Participants were recruited in brothels, massage parlours, hotels, and streets where anonymous questionnaires and blood samples were collected. HIV infection was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) screening and western blot confirmatory tests. RESULTS The overall HIV seroprevalence was 1.2% (range 0.0%-4.5%). The highest HIV seroprevalences were reported in Argentina (4.5%) and Paraguay (2.6%); no HIV infected FCSW were detected in Venezuela and Chile. Consistent predictors of HIV seropositivity were: (1) a previous history of sexually transmitted infections (STI, AORs = 3.8-8.3), and (2) 10 years or more in commercial sex work (AORs = 2.2-24.8). In addition, multiple (> or =3) sexual contacts (AOR = 5.0), sex with foreigners (AOR = 6.9), use of illegal drugs (AOR = 3.2), and marijuana use (AOR = 8.2) were associated with HIV seropositivity in Southern Cone countries. CONCLUSIONS Consistently low HIV seroprevalences were detected among FCSW in South America, particularly in the Andean region. Predictors of HIV infection across the continent were STI and length of commercial sex work; however, use of illegal drugs, especially marijuana, and sexual contacts with foreigners were also found to be associated risk factors in the Southern Cone region. Interventions for the control of HIV and other STI need to be region and country specific; drug use appears to have an ever increasing role in the spread of HIV among heterosexually active populations.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination of atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride (Malarone) were compared with chloroquine or pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine in patients with acute falciparum malaria in northern Peru. Patients were initially randomized to receive 1,000 mg atovaquone and 400 mg proguanil hydrochloride daily for 3 days (n=15) or 1,500 mg chloroquine (base) over a 3 day period (n=14) (phase 1). The cure rate with chloroquine was lower than expected and patients were subsequently randomized to receive a single dose of 75 mg pyrimethamine and 1,500 mg sulfadoxine (n=9) or atovaquone/proguanil as before (n=5) (phase 2). In phase 1, atovaquone/proguanil was significantly more effective than chloroquine (cure rate 100% [14/14] vs. 8% [1/13], P<0.0001). In phase 2, atovaquone/proguanil and pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine were both highly effective (cure rates 100% [5/5] and 100% [7/7]). There were no significant differences between treatment groups in parasite or fever clearance times. Adverse events were typical of malarial symptoms and did not differ significantly between groups. Overall efficacy of atovaquone/proguanil was 100% for treatment of acute falciparum malaria in a region with a high prevalence of chloroquine resistance.

Abstract
A household vector control trial was carried out in the Peruvian Andes to measure the effect of spraying inside walls and ceilings with lambda-cyhalothrin on the risk for residents of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania peruviana. The mortality rates of Lutzomyia verrucarum measured with WHO contact bioassay cones set on adobe walls characteristic of the endemic region indicated an LD95 for lambda-cyhalothrin of about 20 mg/m2, and no reduction in effectiveness for at least 6 months on indoor adobe walls sprayed with 25 mg/m2. A random selection of 112 houses were sprayed (starting in 1992/93) at 6-monthly intervals with a mean dose of 34 mg/m2, leaving 154 control houses (with closely matched pre-intervention measurements of incidence and sandfly abundance). Comparisons of pre- and post-intervention sandfly indoor abundance, measured at regular intervals for up to 2 years using CDC light traps, in 22 sprayed and 21 control houses demonstrated that spraying significantly reduced the indoor abundance of Lu. verrucarum by an average of 78% and of Lu. (Helcocyrtomyia) peruensis by 83%. Spraying was also associated with a significant reduction of 77% in the proportion of bloodfed sandflies collected in light traps. The proportion of susceptible householders acquiring leishmaniasis during the trial was significantly reduced by 54% as a result of spraying. The observed impact of spraying was greatest, 81% (95% confidence intervals 20-95%), when the cases detected during the first 6 months after the intervention were excluded from the analysis, suggesting a significant pre-patent period.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Free-living amoeba infection is today a known and outgrowth disease, which is suspected when exists a special skin lesion. DEVELOPMENT Balamuthia mandrillaris is one of these amoebas recently categorized and identified as a cause of meningoecephalitis granulomatous and chronic. Human infection: until 1997 in Cayetano Heredia Hospital (Lima, Peru) was described 24 cases of Balamuthia mandrillaris infection, 10 under 15 years old. All had skin lesion and all died, 16 had conscious impairment, 8 intracranial hypertension and 8 seizures. CONCLUSIONS The free-living amoebas disease is now an outgrowth illness that depends on its worldwide distribution and association with immunocompromised host. The Balamuthia mandrillaris infection is a new form responsible for a fatal disease and clinical suspected is possible by the occurrence of skin lesion. Is very important to promove in Latin America collaborative studies in order to future actions.

Abstract
Norethisterone (NET) and its metabolite 5alpha-norethisterone (5alpha-NET) are competitors for the androgen receptor. The sensitivity of the rat vas deferens to the contractile action of methoxamine and serotonin is regulated by hormonal and anatomical factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of NET and 5alpha-NET to induce the androgen-regulated contractile response to methoxamine and serotonin in the epididymal and prostatic portions of rat vas deferens. Adult male rats either intact, castrated or steroid-treated castrated were used. The contractility was recorded isometrically, and non-cumulative concentration-response curves to either methoxamine or serotonin were obtained. NET and 5alpha-NET partially restored the sensitivity to methoxamine and serotonin in the epididymal portion of castrated rats. The maximal responses to both agonists were significantly higher than those observed in castrated rats, and significantly lower than the responses observed in either intact or androgen-treated castrated rats. The prostatic portion was less responsive to both agonists than the epididymal portion, in all groups but castrated rats, as castration induced sensitivity to both agonists. NET and 5alpha-NET displayed a partial though similar androgenic activity in the rat vas deferens. These results contrast with previous reports where a decrease of androgenic effect due to the 5alpha-reduction of NET has been found.

Abstract
A randomized, open, controlled clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy, tolerance, and safety of sodium stibogluconate plus allopurinol and sodium stibogluconate alone as treatment of patients with mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. In phase 1 of the study, all 22 patients with severe disease had improvement of their lesions, but only two had clinical cure (both of these patients received sodium stibogluconate alone). In phase 2, which included 59 patients with moderate disease, the cure rate among sodium stibogluconate recipients was 75% (21 of 28) compared with 63.6% (14 of 22) among the sodium stibogluconate plus allopurinol recipients. The rates of clinical adverse events were similar among both groups. Thrombocytopenia was more frequent in the sodium stibogluconate plus allopurinol recipients, but the difference was not statistically significant. Eight patients (two sodium stibogluconate recipients and six sodium stibogluconate plus allopurinol recipients) withdrew from the study because of severe thrombocytopenia. In this study, the addition of allopurinol to sodium stibogluconate provided no clinical benefit as treatment of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.
