 AB    Two samples of buffy coat from the peripheral blood of 25 human
       immunodeficiency virus-positive patients with proven visceral
       leishmaniasis, as determined with a bone marrow aspirate (stain and
       culture), were cultured onto Schneider's and Novy-McNeal-Nicolle media.
       Hemoculture positivity was 67%. The average growing time was 10 days.
       This is an easy, noninvasive, and sensitive technique.
