Abstract

India and neighboring Nepal, Bangladesh along with Sudan and Brazil are the four largest foci of visceral leishmaniasis and account for 90% of the world's visceral leishmaniasis (VL) burden, with India being the worst affected. High degree of suspicion is usually based on patient presenting from endemic area with features of pancytopenia hepatosplenomegaly. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytic (HLH) syndrome also presents with similar clinical features. Visceral leishmaniasis leading to secondary HLH syndrome is in itself a rare entity while both of these presenting in pregnant patient, to the best knowledge of the authors, is yet to be described in literature.
