Abstract EN
Leishmaniasis is a tropical infection caused by the protozoan, belonging to the group of Leishmania which causes Old World and New World disease.
These are typically divided into cutaneous, mucocutaneous, visceral, viscerotropic, and disseminated disease.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis in the presence of visceral disease is a rarity.
Isolated case reports have documented this occurrence, in the immunocompromised setting, and few otherwise.
The concurrent presence of visceral leishmaniasis (bone marrow involvement) with solitary cutaneous and ocular disease and also solitary cutaneous and visceral disease (bone marrow involvement) has been reported before.
Here, we present an immunocompetent patient who was diagnosed to have visceral leishmaniasis (liver and bone marrow involvement) along with simultaneous disseminated mucocutaneous and ocular involvement, a combination that has never been reported before.
