BackgroundVisceral leishmaniasis (Kala-azar) is a systemic infection caused by subspecies of Leishmania donovani. Transmission to humans occurs via Phlebotomus sandfly bites. In endemic regions the disease can be an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients, including those with AIDS. Serological screening supports clinical and epidemiological assessment but should be interpreted with clinical findings and confirmatory testing where required.
