Abstract:
A case of visceral leishmaniasis in a female patient suffering from acute nonlymphoid leukaemia is reported. Stress is laid on the atypical nature of the clinical picture, falsified by the underlying disease, and attention is called to the behaviour of Leishmania as an opportunistic agent in the immunodepressed host.
