Development and validation of an HPLC-MS/MS method for the quantification of the anti-leishmanial drug miltefosine in human skin tissue

Ignace C. Roseboom et al.

Summary: Miltefosine is the only approved oral drug for treating leishmaniasis, a neglected parasitic disease. A sensitive method using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated to quantify miltefosine in human skin tissue. The method met internationally accepted criteria for accuracy, precision, and stability. This assay successfully detected miltefosine in skin biopsies from patients with post-kala azar dermal leishmaniasis treated in Bangladesh.

Development and validation of a high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for the quantification of the antiparasitic and antifungal drug amphotericin B in human skin tissue

Ignace C. Roseboom et al.

Summary: This study presents a bioanalytical assay for the quantification of amphotericin B in human skin biopsies, which can optimize known treatment regimens by accurately measuring drug concentrations in the skin. The assay achieved acceptable accuracy and precision, and demonstrated the presence of amphotericin B in skin biopsies from treated patients.

Keratitis occurring in patients treated with miltefosine for post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis

Rakhi Kusumesh et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 5 cases of PKDL patients who developed keratitis after receiving miltefosine treatment. All patients showed varying degrees of keratitis symptoms after 48 days of miltefosine treatment, with corticosteroid therapy and discontinuation of miltefosine effectively improving the keratitis condition.

Blood Parasite Load as an Early Marker to Predict Treatment Response in Visceral Leishmaniasis in Eastern Africa

Luka Verrest et al.

Summary: Blood Leishmania parasite load determined by qPCR is a highly sensitive predictor of relapse in VL patients within 6 months of treatment initiation. The correlation between blood parasite loads and tissue parasite loads is high, making it a promising biomarker for evaluating treatment response.
