Leishmaniose mit kutaner und viszeraler Beteiligung bei einem 13 Monate alten Jungen
2000
Leishmaniasis is an anthropozoonosis caused by infection with leishmania parasites with either cutaneous, mucosal or visceral (kala-azar) involvement. While the benign cutaneous form is self-limited death occurs in approximately 80% of children with kala-azar when untreated. The diagnosis of kala-azar should not be missed in children presenting with fever, hepatosplenomegaly and pancytopenia especially with a history of sand fly bites. We report the case of a 13-month-old boy with both cutaneous and visceral involvement.
