Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (kala azar) is characterized by fever and splenomegaly in more than 80% of cases. We report a case of kala azar in an elderly person with severe anemia but no other typical features. This highlights the importance of being aware of rare presentations to avoid missing the diagnosis of this potentially fatal, but fully treatable, condition.
摘要
内脏利什曼病（黑热病）在超过80%的病例中表现为发热和脾肿大。我们报告了一例老年黑热病患者，该患者伴有严重贫血，但无其他典型特征。这凸显了认识到罕见表现对于避免漏诊这种潜在致命但完全可治疗疾病的重要性。
