摘要：
We here report the case of a 14/12 year old girl with visceral leishmaniasis. Returning from a trip to Mallorca she presented with pancytopenia, splenomegaly and fever and was admitted to hospital with suspected malignancy. Diagnosis was established microscopically from bone marrow smear and confirmed by PCR-assisted amplification of leishmania-specific DNA from peripheral blood. Treatment was conducted with stibogluconate for 25 days. Defervescence and improvement of clinical symptoms was seen after 4 days of treatment.
