ABSTRACT
A 30-year-old homosexual man presented with anemia and a several months history of recurrent fever, night sweats and weakness. His travel history included several stays in mediterranean countries during the recent years. Abdominal ultrasound showed massive splenomegaly, hepatomegaly and abdominal lymphadenopathy. A bone marrow aspirate revealed the presence of numerous Leishmania amastigotes, and bone marrow culture and polymerase chain reaction were also positive for Leishmania. In this case report epidemiological, immunological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of HIV-Leishmania coinfection are discussed with special emphasis on the impact of liposomal amphotericin B and highly active antiretroviral therapy on the treatment of HIV-leishmania-coinfection.
