Role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL)
Taken together, in PKDL, activated neutrophils possibly contribute towards modulating the lesional landscape. Understanding this involvement of neutrophils in patients with PKDL, particularly in the absence of an animal model, could offer better understanding of the disease pathogenesis and provide insights into novel therapeutic strategies for the ongoing elimination program.
