- Lesion Reduction and Re-epithelization - Definitive Cure [ Time Frame: 6 months at the follow-up visit. ]complete epithelization of all ulcers and complete disappearance of inflammatory hardening of all lesions at 6 months at the follow-up visit.
- Lesion Reduction and Re-epithelization - Partial Cure [ Time Frame: 6 months at the follow-up visit. ]
incomplete epithelialization or incomplete regression of inflammatory hardening of one or more lesions, and without the appearance of new lesions.
Apparent cure: complete epithelization of all ulcers and regression ≥ 70% of the inflammatory hardening of all lesions.
- Clinical Failure [ Time Frame: 6 months at the follow-up visit. ]Any of the following topics as clinical failure: residual readers with the presence of non-GiemsaDiff-Quick print parasites, or the appearance of new lesions or ≥ 20% increase or no improvement of lesions previously documented.
