Kala-azar or Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a disease of low altitude (approximately 500 meters mean sea level). In India, however cases have been reported from sub-Himalayan region (350-960 meters MSL) of Kumaon region of Uttaranchal. We present two patients of VL, natives of tribal district of Kinnnaur (2000-3000 meters MSL), Himachal Pradesh, who had never visited known endemic area for Leishmaniasis. These are probably first indigenous cases of VL being reported from an area situated at an altitude of 3000 meters and 2300 meters MSL.
黑热病或内脏利什曼病（VL）是一种低海拔疾病（平均海平面约500米）。然而，在印度，北阿坎德邦库马盎地区的喜马拉雅山地区（平均海平面350 - 960米）已报告有病例。我们报告了两名内脏利什曼病患者，他们是喜马偕尔邦金瑙尔部落地区（平均海平面2000 - 3000米）的本地人，从未去过已知的利什曼病流行地区。这些可能是首次报告的来自平均海平面3000米和2300米地区的本地内脏利什曼病病例。
