The authors report the first documented observation of infantile visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum MON-24 zymodeme in Tunisia. This zymodeme was isolated from a non-immunodepressed two-year-old child, with visceral leishmaniasis, originating from Zaghouan, in northern Tunisia. This case shows that beside L. infantum MON-1 and MON-80, L. infantum MON-24, the usual parasite of cutaneous leishmaniasis, there exists also a causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis in our country.
作者报告了突尼斯首例有记录的因婴儿利什曼原虫MON-24酶株引起的婴儿内脏利什曼病观察病例。该酶株是从一名来自突尼斯北部扎古万的两岁非免疫抑制内脏利什曼病患儿身上分离出来的。该病例表明，除了婴儿利什曼原虫MON-1和MON-80外，婴儿利什曼原虫MON-24（通常是皮肤利什曼病的寄生虫）在我国也是内脏利什曼病的病原体。
