Abstract
Neglected diseases such as leishmaniasis, dengue, and chikungunya pose significant challenges to public health due to their high prevalence and wide geographic distribution in the Southern Cone region. These diseases are transmitted through insect bites, which serve as natural reservoirs. While their imaging findings are not always conclusive, they can play a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring. This review provides a concise overview of the clinical manifestations, epidemiological context, and imaging findings associated with these diseases. The primary purpose of this article is to share our experience and offer valuable insights into the use of imaging for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients suspected to have these diseases.
期刊介绍：
Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology
Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
