Some histopathological and histochemical studies were carried out on the intestines of an acute case of infantile visceral leishmaniasis. Macrophages carrying amastigotes were seen mainly in the villous tips, mucin secretion inside the mucosal cells was mild, deposits of collagen and fibrin in the lamina propria were marked and the argentaffin cells were partially lost. The whole results were discussed.
