Risk mapping of human HIV-Leishmaniasis co-infection in Morocco

Abstract: BackgroundHIV/AIDS is frequently associated with opportunistic diseases such as leishmaniasis. Hence, the co-infection HIV-Leishmania spp. is the result of the geographical overlap between leishmaniasis and HIV/AIDS cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the spatial distribution of HIV-Leishmaniasis co-infection in Morocco where both infections are endemic.MethodsIn the current study, we discuss the HIV-Leishmania spp. co-infection vulnerability in Morocco by using the cartogr… Show more

“…Leishmaniasis acts as an opportunistic disease in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and leads to the progression of HIV-specific clinical features affecting the life expectancy of individuals. Leishmania takes advantage of the suppressed immune system, thus comprehensively causing exaggerated clinical symptoms [ 231 , 232 ].…”
