Concomitant natural infection with L. donovani and L. major: a case report from Iraq.

L J al-Diwany1, N A al-Awkati, M Atia, M B Rassam.   

Abstract

This is a case report of kala-azar with cutaneous leishmaniasis. Upon admission, the patient had fever, hepatosplenomegaly and an ulcer on her cheek. The patient responded to Pentostam. Isoenzyme studies of parasite isolates from the bone marrow and from the cutaneous lesion revealed that these were L. donovani and L. major, respectively. This is the first report in Iraq of a proven concomitant infection with two species of leishmania parasites.
