GB 15986-1995

This standard defines the clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory diagnostic criteria for kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis), including specific case classification and confirmation methods. It is applied by healthcare professionals in China for disease surveillance, outbreak management, and clinical treatment protocols, particularly in endemic regions where the disease is transmitted by sandflies. The standard also outlines principles for patient management, such as isolation requirements, treatment regimens, and follow-up procedures to control transmission and ensure public health safety.
