  • Title: [Visceral leishmaniasis associated with Hodgkin's disease: diagnostic difficulties].
    Author: Magnan A, Jacquème P, Sudan N, Redding E, Blanc AP, Poirier R.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 1991; 47(4):188-91. PubMed ID: 1723216.
    Abstract:
    A case of Hodgkin's disease associated from the start with visceral leishmaniasis in the absence of antitumoral treatment shows that leishmaniasis is a severe opportunistic infection in endemic areas and can be masked by the tumoral syndrome of an underlying pathology. Conversely, patients with visceral leishmaniasis must be investigated for a cause of immunosuppression with, in particular, biopsy of accessible lymph nodes. The exceptionally favourable course of this particular case deserved to be high-lighted.
