test). No elevation of blood serum creatinine or blood urea nitrogen levels was observed, supporting the hypothesis of lessened kidney toxicity. Additionally, flow cytometry explorations showed differences in IL-17 and IFN-γ positivity, and histological changes were observed in the upper dermis. These promising results represent the first test of hollow microneedles for CL treatment and pave the way for further trials. The adoption of microneedles could reduce CL burden in affected communities because of their ease of use, efficacy, and safety with a pre-approved drug.
