Cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis
The diagnosis of leishmaniasis can be challenging because it mimics both infectious and malignant conditions. A misdiagnosis may lead to an unfavorable outcome. Using culture, histologic, and/or polymerase chain reaction study results, a diagnosis of leishmaniasis can be established and treatment initiated. Appropriate management requires an accurate diagnosis, which often includes identification of the specific etiologic species. Different endemic areas have varying sensitivities to the same medication, even within individual species.

Does the Slow movement have anything to offer nursing education?
The ideas of the Slow movement continue to gain support among those weary of the apparent incessant need for speed endemic in the 21st century. Currently the demands of efficiency require, if not doing more with less, then at least doing more within existing resources. Nursing education has not escaped this efficiency requirement and nurse academics will be familiar with pressures that accompany demands to accomplish more with less. For good reason the pre-registration nursing curriculum remains under review, and revisions tend to add content to an already crowded curriculum.

In India, the influencing factor that promotes dissemination of emerging and re-emerging viral infections is the biogeographical zones: a megadiverse country, characterized by varied geographical, climatic conditions and ever-changing socio-economical and geopolitical issues. These influence the movement of humans and animals and add layers of complexity for the identification and timely management of infectiou...
