The authors report on 9 cases of mediterranean visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar) collected in the south-eastern part of France in 1978. They emphasize the more frequent occurrence of this disease in adults than children. Out of the 40 cases detected in this region between January 1975 and December 1978, 22 affected adults (55 percent) moreover, Kala-Azar appears to occur particularly in adults with decreased general resistance and diagnosis may be difficult because classical clinical features are no complete.
作者报告了1978年在法国东南部收集到的9例地中海内脏利什曼病（黑热病）。他们强调这种疾病在成年人中比儿童中更常见。在1975年1月至1978年12月期间该地区检测出的40例病例中，有22例为成年人（占55%）。此外，黑热病似乎特别发生在全身抵抗力下降的成年人中，而且由于典型临床特征不完整，诊断可能会很困难。
