 AB    Leishmaniasis is rarely encountered in southern Africa. Two cases were
       diagnosed by histopathology in northern Malawi in one year. One was an
       18 months old child with negative human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1)
       serology and widespread skin lesions; the other an HIV-1 positive adult
       with 2 skin lesions. The Leishmania species responsible could not be
       identified, but the infection may be more prevalent in this region than
       previously thought.
