A case of leishmaniasis (L. donovani) in a five year-old girl from Acatlan, State of Puebla, Mexico, is reported. She had had a 4-month history of malaise with 39 degrees C intermittent fever, hyporexia and a weight loss of 7 kg. She had spleen enlargement, and blood pancytopenia. A bone marrow study showed the Leishmania amastigotes; a positive blood culture on NNN media (Novy-Nicolle-MacNeal) confirmed the presence of promastigotes. A complete remission was achieved with methylglucamine. We present a review of the Mexican literature concerning visceral leishmaniasis.
报告了一名来自墨西哥普埃布拉州阿卡特兰的5岁女孩患利什曼病（杜氏利什曼原虫）的病例。她有4个月身体不适的病史，伴有39摄氏度间歇性发热、食欲减退和体重减轻7公斤。她有脾脏肿大和全血细胞减少。骨髓检查发现利什曼无鞭毛体；在NNN培养基（诺维-尼科尔-麦克尼尔）上血培养呈阳性，证实存在前鞭毛体。用葡甲胺实现了完全缓解。我们对墨西哥有关内脏利什曼病的文献进行了综述。
