| Popis: | An English child developed visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) after cardiac surgery. Neither he nor his mother had ever been out of the UK, and his disease was probably transmitted by blood transfusion. Kala-azar should be considered in patients with unexplained fever and hepatosplenomegaly, even if there is no history of foreign travel. |
