Case Reports[Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis as a manifestation of visceral leishmaniasis].
A 7-year-old previously healthy Czech boy was admitted due to fever, hepatosplenomegaly and pancytopenia. Aspiration of bone marrow revealed no signs of hemoblastosis (nor hemophagocytosis). He was treated with antibiotics and virostatics without effect. ⋯ In control bone marrow aspirate performed three months later, the parasites were not detected. Ten months after the event, the patient is in complete remission of HLH with normal immunologic parameters. Most probably, he contracted visceral leishmaniasis during a visit of a Neapol area in Italy 3 months before the onset of the disease.
