    Abstract:
    Esophageal disease is a common cause of morbidity in patients infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although gastrointestinal involvement of leishmaniasis has been previously reported, we believed that we describe the first case of leishmania esophagitis. Clinical data and the endoscopic and histologic hallmarks are described.
