CONSORT Patient Flowchart – SSG <i>vs.</i> PM.
<p>SSG, sodium stibogluconate; PM, paromomycin sulphate; SAE, serious adverse event; LTFU, loss to follow-up; ITT, intention-to-treat; PP, per protocol.

CONSORT Patient Flowchart – SSG <i>vs.</i> SSG&PM.
<p>SSG, sodium stibogluconate; PM, paromomycin sulphate; SAE, serious adverse event; LTFU, loss to follow-up; ITT, intention-to-treat; PP, per protocol. Patients included in the SSG (SSG at 20 mg/kg/day for 30 days) vs. SSG & PM combination (SSG at 20 mg/kg/day & PM at 15 mg/kg/day for 17 days) arms; <b><sup>a</sup></b> patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis and was removed from the study before the end of treatment; <b><sup>b</sup></b> patient died from non-VL causes; <b><sup>c</sup></b> patient with deviation also had a missing outcome value and was already excluded from the ITT analysis.</p
