“…Moreover, since the evolution of the case is a data field not required at the national level, these data may be underreported. Of the people infected by VL who died, one had coinfection with HIV, a condition that has been increasingly observed ( Barbosa et al 2013 , Carvalho et al 2013 , Ortiz & Anversa 2015 , Távora et al 2015) and is one of the causes of reduced survival of patients with this disease (de Sousa-Gomes et al 2011, d , de Albuquerque et al 2014) .…”

“…It is inferred that the internalization of HIV infection, concomitant with the process of urbanization of leishmaniasis, favors this coinfection. [25][26] It should be noted that the HIV detection tests are mainly used in three situations: for serological screening of blood donation, blood products and organs for transplantation; for epidemiological surveillance studies and for the diagnosis of the infection. In addition, for the infectious detection of HIV, immunoassays, among them, the fast test.…”
