 AB    This study describes a male patient with human immunodeficiency virus
       infection, grade IV-C (oropharyngeal moniliasis and Pneumocystis carinii
       pneumonia), associated with visceral involvement produced by Leishmania
       braziliensis which was identified by deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization
       after the polymerase chain reaction had been performed. The patient was
       treated with molgramostim in association with meglumine antimonate to
       enhance macrophage destruction of parasites.
