Abstract

This is the report of a 2-year-old boy who presented with fever, cytopenia, and splenomegaly. The patient was diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and treated with HLH-2004 protocol. Repeated bone marrow aspiration showed amastigotes on follow-up. In endemic countries, visceral leishmaniasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis to avoid chemotherapy toxicity.
