Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is fatal neglected parasitic illness caused by Leishmania donovani. The diagnosis remains
a challenge due to the non-specific clinical symptoms, especially in areas where infections like malaria and limited access to diagnostic
tools coexist. Here, we describe a case of late diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis using tru-cut biopsy of the spleen and malaria coinfection.
