Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Visceral leishmaniasis occurring in malnourished subjects can have an uncommon course, which explains difficulties in its diagnosis.
CASE REPORT: A 22-month-old infant was admitted because of malnutrition and prolonged fever. The bacteriological investigation was negative. When his nutritional status improved, he developed a splenomegaly. The medullogram confirmed the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis. The course was then favorable with treatment by pentavalent antimonial.
CONCLUSION: Malnutrition constitutes a risk factor of opportunist parasitic disease such as leishmaniasis. Its diagnosis can be very difficult.
