Leishmaniasis
A parasitic infection caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. It is transmitted to humans via the bite of sandflies.

TTS causes blood clots & leads to low blood platelet count. Experts say, the adverse effects related to vaccine usually occur within a few weeks (1-6 weeks) after the administration.
