Abstract
Modern medicine is increasingly based on the use of new research methods in diagnosing diseases. PCR is one such method, which has been widely used in parasitology and significantly improved the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in our country. It turned out to be particularly interesting to use this method in the case of visceral leishmaniasis relapses in Georgia, because molecular diagnostics allow us to determine characteristics of the parasite, such as virulence and resistance to treatment. In our opinion, it is interesting that according to the opinion of the deceased famous Georgian scientist professor Otar Zenaishvili, that one of the reasons for the recurrence of visceral leishmaniasis, among other reasons, may be the emergence of resistant forms of amastigotes that cause this disease to the medicinal drug glucantin used in Georgia.
