In endemic areas, the con-stellation of fever, progressive weight loss, weakness, pronounced splenomegaly, anemia, leukopenia, and hypergammaglobulinemia is highly suggestive of visceral leishmaniasis. Demonstration of the parasite in liver, splenic or bone marrow aspirates is confirmatory. We present a case in which Leishmania donovani (LD) bodies were demonstrated on splenic aspirate. We were unable to demon-strate LD bodies on bone marrow aspiration. https://ijpa.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijpa/article/view/508 https://ijpa.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijpa/article/download/508/416
