Lymphatic leishmaniasis is a rare parasitic disease even in endemic region. It is usually associated with visceral and post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is being increasingly recognized in association with immunodeficient patients (HIV/AIDS). However, leishmanial lymphadenitis has been rarely diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of epitrochlear lymph node in an HIV patient. Cytological features of leishmanial lymphadenitis in an HIV-reactive patient have been rarely addressed in previous literature. We present the FNAC of a case of leishmanial lymphadenitis in epitrochlear lymph node in the case of an HIV-reactive patient with visceral leishmaniasis.
淋巴型利什曼病即使在流行地区也是一种罕见的寄生虫病。它通常与内脏型和黑热病后皮肤利什曼病相关。利什曼病越来越多地被认为与免疫缺陷患者（艾滋病毒/艾滋病）有关。然而，通过对艾滋病毒患者的滑车上淋巴结进行细针穿刺细胞学检查（FNAC）来诊断利什曼性淋巴结炎的情况很少见。先前的文献很少涉及艾滋病毒反应性患者中利什曼性淋巴结炎的细胞学特征。我们展示了一例患有内脏利什曼病的艾滋病毒反应性患者滑车上淋巴结利什曼性淋巴结炎的细针穿刺细胞学检查结果。
