 AB    A case of laryngeal leishmaniasis, with symptoms of hoarseness and
       odinophagia which had developed over the past year, is presented.
       Clinical features and histological findings are discussed. Visceral
       leishmaniasis is increasingly associated with HIV infection and some
       authors have suggested the possibility of including it as a diagnostic
       criterium for AIDS in HIV-positive patients. When any case of
       leishmaniasis presents atypical clinical features, localization or
       treatment response in endemic areas, HIV infection should be ruled out.
