What is leishmaniasis?
This is an infectious disease transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine or simulated female simulacrum. Leishmaniasis is caused by a tiny parasite called protozoan leishmania. Mosquito bites inoculate a larva that begins to feed on the patient's tissues and at the same time causes deterioration of vital organs.
The health secretary of La Guajira does not have many confirmed cases of leishmaniasis, but in the area of the corregimiento Tomarrazón, there are about 30 people with rashes similar to those that cause the disease and who fears them for deaths occurring in infected patients.
