NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jul 08 –
The bisphosphonate pamidronate appears to effect a radical cure in an experimental model of cutaneous leishmaniasis, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign report in the July 1st issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Dr. Roberto Docampo told Reuters Health that pamidronate is known to stimulate “immune cells–gamma-delta T cells–in humans that have been shown to be important for the cure of skin diseases such as injuries and cancer.” Pamidronate has also shown in vitro action against various parasites.
