A case history of a 39-year-old male is reported. The patient was diagnosed to have visceral leishmaniasis and HIV infection in January 1997. HIV-infection manifested with advanced Kaposi's sarcoma, recurrent Candida and Herpes infection, a decrease of body mass by more than 10%. The diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis was confirmed by detection of Leishmania in biopsy from the bone marrow. Glucantim treatment produced a good clinical effect.
