What Diseases are Associated with Amastigote Nests?
Amastigote nests are primarily associated with Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus. Leishmaniasis manifests in different forms, such as cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral, depending on the species of Leishmania and the immune response of the host. These nests are also seen in infections caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease.
