摘要：
In order to list all cases of human visceral leishmaniasis diagnosed in Tunisia during 1993, a retrospective study, based on the epidemiological record of the ministry of health and investigations in the most important hospitals on the north, was performed. 153 cases were reported essentially in children of 1 to 3 years of age (64%). The cases were distributed mainly in the north and the center of Tunisia. This study confirmed the increase of the incidence of visceral leishmaniasis and its geographical extention to the center of the country these last years.
