What is the prognosis for patients of leishmaniasis?

Answer 1

.With treatment, skin sores begin healing in one to two months, but complete recovery often takes six months or more. In people whose bones and joints are infected or who have pulmonary lesions, surgery may be necessary.

Answer 2

The prognosis for recovery from mucormycosis is poor. The mortality rate is 30%-50% of patients with the rhinocerebral form, and even higher for patients with pulmonary mucormycosis. The disease is almost 100% fatal for patients with AIDS.

Answer 3

Chlamydia is easily cured with inexpensive and readily-available antibiotics. The prognosis is generally excellent for the newborn with Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia. The problem is that an adult can have chlamydia without knowing, and it can cause damage over time. That's why females 25 and under, and men who have sex with men, should get screened for chlamydia at least once a year. All sexually active people should be screened when they have a new partner.

Answer 4

Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is often relatively resistant to treatment. Untreated visceral leishmaniasis has a 90% Death Rate, but only a 10% death rate with treatment.

Answer 5

Complete recovery is achieved following treatment. If left untreated, the infection may cause localized bone destruction.
