Article Synopsis
- Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe inflammatory condition often triggered by viral infections, with visceral leishmaniasis being a rare but significant cause, especially in tropical regions.
- A 15-month-old girl showed symptoms of HLH, including fever, weight loss, and enlarged liver and spleen, with lab tests revealing signs of anemia and possible Leishmania infection.
- Diagnosing HLH related to visceral leishmaniasis is challenging, and careful treatment is necessary to avoid masking symptoms of infections or malignancies; resistance to standard treatments like amphotericin B is also a concern.
