Study of Blood Parameters in Visceral Leishmaniasis Patients in Saharsa District of Bihar

The Leishmania donovani set of parasites causes visceral leishmaniasis VL , also known as Kala Azar, a chronic infectious disease with a range of hematologic symptoms. Fever, weight loss, spleen and liver enlargement, pancytopenia, and hypergammaglobinemia are its defining characteristics. It is native to the Indian subcontinent, mostly found in West Bengal and Bihar. Before being diagnosed with VL, patients may present to the haematologist with other haematological issues. The most typical haematological symptom of VL is anaemia. Leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, pancytopenia, hemophagocytosis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation are additional conditions that may be linked to VL. In the present investigation, we tried to see the haematological effect of VL on infected patients.
