Splenectomy in a patient with treatment-resistant visceral leishmaniasis: a case report.

Robson Azevedo Dutra1, Laura Ferreira Dutra, Milene de Oliveira Reis, Raul Coelho Lambert.   

Abstract

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as Kala-azar, is a systemic infection caused by a protozoan (Leishmania) and, in its classic form, is a serious illness associated with malnutrition, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, infectious processes and coagulopathies. The effect of splenectomy in patients with visceral leishmaniasis is not well defined; however, it is known that the spleen is the largest reservoir of infected cells belonging to the reticulo endothelial system. Therefore, the surgical procedure is an option for the debulking of parasites, providing a cure for refractory VL and minimizing the complications of hypersplenism.
