Abstract

Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis is common in western Mediterranean countries. A strong link between visceral leishmaniasis and human immunodeficiency virus (coinfection) has been proved, especially in Spain, which is an endemic area. This suggests that Leishmania may behave opportunistically. We report a case of colonic leishmaniasis in a 23-year-old Spanish woman infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.

摘要

人兽共患内脏利什曼病在地中海西部地区很常见。内脏利什曼病与人类免疫缺陷病毒（合并感染）之间存在紧密联系，这一点已得到证实，尤其是在作为流行地区的西班牙。这表明利什曼原虫可能具有机会致病性。我们报告了一例23岁感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的西班牙女性患结肠利什曼病的病例。
