Abstract:
Visceral leishmaniasis can rarely be unmasked by immune reconstitution in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-infected patients. We report the first case of immune reconstitution associated with leishmaniasis in an HIV patient to be imaged with [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG/PET), at both baseline and after therapy.
