ABSTRACT
We describe here two cases, one male and one female, both age 40 years, with visceral leishmaniasis and HIV-1 co-infection. The female patient had features of Koch's abdomen. The male patient had features of tuberculous lymphadenitis and bilateral pleural effusion more marked on the right side. Both were treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy, antituberculous drugs, antibiotics, antifungal medicine (fluconazole) and miltefosine. Both patients showed marked improvement with therapy.
