An English child developed visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) after cardiac surgery. Neither he nor his mother had ever been out of the UK, and his disease was probably transmitted by blood transfusion. Kala-azar should be considered in patients with unexplained fever and hepatosplenomegaly, even if there is no history of foreign travel.
一名英国儿童在心脏手术后患上了内脏利什曼病(黑热病)。他和他的母亲都从未离开过英国,他的疾病可能是通过输血传播的。即使没有国外旅行史,对于原因不明发热和肝脾肿大的患者也应考虑黑热病。
