In India, sodium antimony gluconate is the drug of choice for kala-azar. Due to increasing unresponsiveness this in current epidemic that began early 1970s, daily doses 20 mg/kg/day 30 days or more recommended as opposed 10 dose 6-10 used past. Of 130-150 patients treated annually at our center with locally made gluconate, serious cardiotoxicity has occurred less than 10%. During April 1995 University Hospital Varanasi, we encountered life-threatening after 3-28 therapy each eight being a...
