 AB    A case of fatal visceral leishmaniasis associated with immunodeficiency
       syndrome in a 32 year-old male patient is reported. The protozoonosis
       was responsible for the patient's death. Visceral leishmaniasis showed
       itself in an atypical form, at necropsy, with an intense parasitation of
       the mononuclear phagocitic system and damaging organs not usually
       affected by the disease, such as the adrenals, the kidneys, the lungs
       and the brain. Parasitised cells were observed within small vessels in
       several tissues. An immunohistochemical study was done on samples from
       the spleen, lymph nodes and brain, showing strong reactivity with
       antibody directed against leishmania.
