Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne zoonosis endemic in Southern Italy whose usual clinical features include fever, splenomegaly, pancytopenia and hypergammaglobulinemia. The clinical and biochemical picture may be misleading in patients with immunodeficiency diseases hampering the diagnosis. We describe a VL case in a patient whose spleen had been removed and who had Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Evans syndrome. |
