abstract={A 36-year-old Nigerian man was assessed for chronic recurrent fever, generalized weakness, body aches, epistaxis and bleeding gums of 3-month duration. Despite receiving treatment for suspected malaria twice and undergoing multiple courses of antibiotics for suspected infections, his symptoms persisted. Examination revealed hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and severe pallor. Investigations revealed severe anemia, pancytopenia, raised globulin levels. Bone marrow biopsy revealed Leishmania Donovani (LD) bodies. He received treatment with a short duration of high-dose liposomal Amphotericin B followed by outpatient oral Miltefosine to which he responded successfully.},
