Meet Maristela, the Brazilian mother of 5 children*
o Main points of contact include children’s school, local healthcare center, local market
o Two of her children’s playmates recently died of kalazar (also know as visceral leishmaniasis)
o Diagnosis was missed on first visit to healthcare center; low recognition of key symptoms among health care providers; parents do not know enough about the disease to suggest that physicians/healthcare providers consider it as a potential diagnosis
o Second visit to healthcare center was just too late
o Closest healthcare center is several miles from Maristela’s rural village; transportation problems may delay care
Note: Kalazar presents vague symptoms such as fever, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, and an enlarged spleen and liver (CDC, 2006) — also known as “potbelly”. The disease is endemic in the Northeastern region of Brazil and is primarily found in rural areas. The disease has a high mortality rate among children less than five years of age. Treatment is available and effective if administered not too late after the disease’s onset.
