Hematological picture of pediatric Sudanese patients with visceral leishmaniasis and prediction of leishmania donovani parasite load

Figure 1 Model for predicting parasitic load. A-D: Performance of the parasite load model with three target categories (mild, moderate, severe); A: ROC for training data; B: Lift curve for training data; C: ROC for validation data; D: Lift curve for validation data; E: Important features that are associated with leishmania donovani parasites load.

Figure 2 Bone marrow smears (Giemsa stain × 100). A: Reputed macrophage shedding Extracellular amastigotes, each with a prominent nucleus and kinetoplast (red arrows); B: Leishmania donovani bodies as intracytoplasmic, non-flagellated leishmania parasites (amastigotes), located intracellularly in macrophages (red arrows).
