We report the first case of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania martiniquensis in the Caribbean, which until now, was known only to cause cutaneous leishmaniasis. The disease presented with fatigue, anemia, and hepatosplenomegaly in a 61-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who was receiving antiretroviral therapy. Diagnosis was made by bone marrow biopsy. VL is life-threatening, and its emergence in the Caribbean is of concern.
我们报告了加勒比地区首例由马提尼克利什曼原虫引起的内脏利什曼病(VL),此前已知该寄生虫仅会引发皮肤利什曼病。一名61岁的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者在接受抗逆转录病毒治疗期间,出现了疲劳、贫血和肝脾肿大等症状,被诊断为此病。诊断是通过骨髓活检做出的。内脏利什曼病会危及生命,其在加勒比地区的出现令人担忧。
