We describe the fine needle aspiration cytologic study of 210 splenic aspirates from patients clinically diagnosed as having visceral leishmaniasis. Of these, 147 aspirates were found to be positive for Leishmania donovani bodies. We highlighted the cytomorphology of these positive smears. A majority of the cases showed an increase in the number and size of reticuloendothelial cells, with altered shapes, variations in the cytoplasm and decreased white pulp elements. In some of these cases (10%), immature erythroid cells were also found.
我们描述了对210例临床诊断为内脏利什曼病患者的脾脏穿刺物进行的细针穿刺细胞学研究。其中，147例穿刺物被发现杜氏利什曼原虫体呈阳性。我们着重介绍了这些阳性涂片的细胞形态学。大多数病例显示网状内皮细胞数量和大小增加，细胞形状改变，细胞质有变化，白髓成分减少。在其中一些病例（10%）中，还发现了未成熟的红细胞。
