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).
