Summary
Visceral leishmaniasis can mimic lymphoma in immunocompetent individuals. Early diagnosis via PCR and treatment with liposomal amphotericin B are crucial for successful outcomes in febrile patients with travel history.
Area of Science:
- Internal Medicine
- Infectious Diseases
- Tropical Medicine
Background:
- B-symptoms, inflammatory syndrome, and splenomegaly are clinical signs often associated with aggressive lymphomas.
- Immunocompetent individuals can present with atypical infections that may initially be misdiagnosed.
- Travel history is a critical factor in diagnosing infections acquired in endemic or low-endemic areas.

Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
