Which Diseases are Associated with Amastigote Nests?
Amastigote nests are primarily associated with Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. The disease manifests in various forms, including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral Leishmaniasis. In addition to Leishmaniasis, amastigote nests can also be seen in infections caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease.
