Abstract
An eight-months-old infant presenting with anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, hypoalbuminemia and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia was finally found to be affected by visceral leishmaniasis, after having suspected oncohaematologic problems. Diagnosis was confirmed by bone marrow aspiration. Complete recovery was achieved with antimonial N-methylglucamine (Glucantim) administered IM.
