Popis:	The present study was designed to search for visceral leishmaniasis (VL.) in adult population in the Nile Delta. For this purpose: Fifty patients with splenomegaly and/or hepatosplenomegaly were chosen upon clinical grounds with special consideration of clinical manifestations suggestive of the disease. Both indirect haemagglutination test (IHAT) and dot-Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (dot-ELISA), were positive for VL. antibodies in 3% of the patients. Bone marrow examination (smear and culture) revealed negative results in all patients who gave serological reactions. The results were discussed.
