Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Febrile illness is a common clinical problem and frequently caused by bacterial and viral infections. When blood cultures are negative and symptoms persist despite empirical antibiotic treatment, clinicians must consider other differential diagnoses including malignancy, rheumatologic disease and parasitic infections.
CASE PRESENTATION: A Norwegian male in his eighties experienced febrile illness during a stay in Southern Spain. Upon return to Norway, he was hospitalized with fever, weight-loss, enlarged spleen, pancytopenia and hypergammaglobulinemia. After failing to respond to broad-spectrum antibiotics and antifungals, he was diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis and Leishmania infantum was confirmed by PCR and sequencing of spleen biopsy and blood.
INTERPRETATION: With increasing migration and tourism, doctors in non-endemic countries should be familiar with visceral leishmaniasis.
