    • Abstract:
      A brief review of the spread of visceral leishmaniasis in Bulgaria and data about the disease are presented. A case of probably nonautochtonous form of visceral leishmaniasis is described. The clinical evolution of the disease is followed up and the large number of examinations which were carried out for the etiological diagnosis are presented. The diagnosis is based on the characteristic clinical symptoms, epidemiological history, positive serologic tests but with a negative myelogram. The diagnosis was proved ex juvantibus by the antimony treatment and the full recovery of the patient. This is the first case of visceral leishmaniasis in the 40 year history of the hospital.
