Leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in Colombia affecting a large part of the national territory, associated with social, environmental, and climatological factors. It is caused by the parasite of the genus Leishmania, transmitted by the vector Lutzomyia. The disease has three clinical manifestations: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral. The first line of treatment for leishmaniasis is the medication Glucantime, dispensed upon confirmation of the disease through a direct lesion smear, where the parasite is evidenced under a microscope. Within the army, there are three health battalions dedicated to the verification, treatment, and follow-up of active organic patients of the institution, located in the cities of Bogotá, Medellín, and Bonza. The medication is administered intramuscularly or intralesionally, with doses of 10-20 mg/kg/day in 10-day cycles, being safe and effective. However, it has been noted that it is associated with adverse gastrointestinal, cardiovascular (arrhythmias), hepatic (transaminase alterations), and paraclinical alterations when used systemically. Therefore, monitoring treatment through paraclinical tests is of vital importance, especially in prolonged treatments and/or high doses.
This retrospective cohort study aims to determine the risk factors for cardiovascular adverse events in patients of the National Army who received treatment for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis with meglumine antimoniate, reported to SIVIGILA in the year 2018 in the city of Popayán.
