Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), or kala-azar, a serious disease resulting from a systemic infection caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania, is potentially fatal to humans. According to data from Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Brazil's Information System for Notifiable Diseases) from 2015 to 2016, 6,489 new cases were recorded in Brazil in 22 of the 27 federative units. In addition to typical clinical findings, VL may be associated with autoimmune phenomena, including simulating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We present the first case of autochthonous VL mimicking SLE in Santa Catarina in southern Brazil.
内脏利什曼病（VL），即黑热病，是由利什曼原虫属的原生动物引起的全身性感染导致的一种严重疾病，对人类有潜在致命性。根据巴西法定传染病信息系统2015年至2016年的数据，巴西27个联邦单位中的22个记录了6489例新病例。除了典型的临床症状外，VL可能与自身免疫现象有关，包括类似系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）。我们报告了巴西南部圣卡塔琳娜州首例本土VL模仿SLE的病例。
