Visceral Leishmaniasis or Kala Azar is endemic in certain regions of India. In endemic areas, the constellation of fever, progressive weight loss, weakness, pronounced splenomegaly, anemia, leukopenia, and hypergammaglobulinemia is highly suggestive of visceral leishmaniasis. Demonstration of the parasite in liver, splenic or bone marrow aspirates is confirmatory. We present a case in which Leishmania donovani (LD) bodies were demonstrated on splenic aspirate. We were unable to demonstrate LD bodies on bone marrow aspiration.
内脏利什曼病或黑热病在印度的某些地区呈地方性流行。在流行地区,发热、进行性体重减轻、虚弱、明显脾肿大、贫血、白细胞减少和高球蛋白血症等症状高度提示内脏利什曼病。在肝、脾或骨髓穿刺物中发现寄生虫可确诊。我们报告一例在脾穿刺物中发现杜氏利什曼原虫(LD)小体的病例。我们在骨髓穿刺中未能发现LD小体。
