ABSTRACT
Clinical presentations of kala-azar [visceral leishmaniasis] are varied in children and adults. This may at Least initially mimic many tropical and hepatobilliary diseases. This paper is an attempt to see the clinical presentations of kala-azar in children. Eleven cases are analyzed, retrospectively admitted in a pediatric unit of a tertiary care hospital in the southern part of Bangladesh. Fever 91%, Jaundice 55%, splenomegaly 100%, hepatomegaly 91% are common findings. Presence of jaundice and ascites may mimic chronic liver disease which is suspected in 36% in this series. Awareness regarding these uncommon features will help in diagnosis
