    Author: Raina S, Raina RK, Bodh A, Rana BS, Sharma R.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2017 Jun; 65(6):106-107. PubMed ID: 28782325.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in an immunocompetent native from non-endemic region of India that presented with chronic diarrhoea. VL was not a differential diagnosis and was unexpectedly diagnosed as intestinal leishmaniasis through the identification of the Leishman-Donovan (LD) bodies in duodenal and colonic mucosa. The patient expired before receiving antileishmanial therapy.
