According to WHO estimates, from 700 thousand to 1.3 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 200–400 thousand cases of visceral leishmaniasis are registered annually in the world. Visceral leishmaniasis kills up to 30 thousand people in the world, and in terms of mortality, visceral leishmaniasis is second only to malaria. The article describes a clinical case of non-imported visceral leishmaniasis in a 40-year-old man. The presented clinical observation indicates the difficulties of diagnosing the disease in non-endemic regions and the difficulties of carrying out differential diagnosis for somatic doctors.
Keywords: complicated leishmaniasis, visceral leishmaniasis
