Abstract

Visceral leishmaniasis is one of the world's most neglected diseases. Over 90% of the 500,000 annual new cases occur in only five countries: India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sudan and North-Eastern Brazil, but the disease remains endemic in Southern Europe. We report a case of visceral leishmaniasis in an immunocompetent serviceman after a seven-day stay in the Marseilles region of South-Eastern France. This case is intended to alert clinicians to the possibility of visceral leishmaniasis in patients who develop a febrile illness after returning from travel in Southern European countries.

摘要

内脏利什曼病是世界上最被忽视的疾病之一。每年50万新发病例中，超过90%仅发生在五个国家：印度、尼泊尔、孟加拉国、苏丹和巴西东北部，但该病在南欧仍为地方病。我们报告一例免疫功能正常的军人在内法国东南部马赛地区停留7天后发生内脏利什曼病的病例。该病例旨在提醒临床医生，对于从南欧国家旅行归来后出现发热疾病的患者，要警惕内脏利什曼病的可能性。
