Between 1989 and 1993, investigations by classical parasitological procedures of 139 HIV-infected adults living in visceral leishmaniasis (VL) endemic areas showed that 10 of them (7.2%) were positive for Leishmania (by stained smears and culture). In the same period we identified 15 VL cases in patients not infected with HIV. Thus, 40% (10/25) of our VL cases were associated with HIV infection.
1989年至1993年间，采用经典寄生虫学方法对生活在内脏利什曼病（VL）流行地区的139名感染HIV的成年人进行调查，结果显示其中10人（7.2%）利什曼原虫检测呈阳性（通过涂片染色和培养）。同一时期，我们在未感染HIV的患者中确诊了15例VL病例。因此，我们的VL病例中有40%（10/25）与HIV感染有关。
