Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
Leishmaniasis is a global public health concern. Currently available treatments are associated with considerable side effects. The use of nanotechnology has shown promise for improving efficacy and bioavailability and minimizing side effects.
METHODS:
This study investigated available literature, including patents and scientific articles, to identify advances in the use of nanotechnology for the treatment of leishmaniasis.
RESULTS:
Our findings revealed a stable number of patents and scientific articles published over the past five years.
CONCLUSIONS:
There is a need to intensify research on the use of nanotechnology for the treatment of leishmaniasis.
