Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) as the name suggests, develops usually after 1-2 years of treated kala azar (KA).1 Infrequently, cases may be seen later than 2 years. A case of PKDL occurring after 10 years of treated KA is herein reported. Such a long disease-free interval may be forgotten by the patient, and if not carefully elicited in the history, the diagnosis of PKDL may be missed.
黑热病后皮肤利什曼病(PKDL),顾名思义,通常在治疗后的黑热病(KA)1 - 2年后出现。很少有病例在2年后出现。本文报告了一例在治疗KA 10年后发生的PKDL病例。如此长的无病间隔时间可能会被患者遗忘,如果在病史询问中不仔细询问,可能会漏诊PKDL。
