We report 3 cases of Visceral leishmaniasis, who presented with unusual clinical manifestations. One child was diagnosed as hemophagocytic syndrome; another masqueraded with features of leukemoid changes alongwith hemophagocytosis and trilineage myelodysplasia; the third case presented with pyothorax. All the three patients showed amastigote forms of Leishmania donovani and positive serology (rk39 antigen). They showed complete clinical, hematological and parasitological resolution with Amphotericin B therapy.
