ABSTRACT
Hemophagocytosis in visceral leishmaniasis is rare and usually mild. However, presentation as hemophagocytic syndrome is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 28 years man who presented with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, reactive histiocytes and severe hemophagocytosis. Subsequent investigations revealed he had Leishmania donovani infection.
