 AB    While visceral leishmaniasis (VL) generally occurs in immunocompetent
       subjects in endemic areas, it has been increasingly recognised as an
       important opportunistic infection in the immunocompromised including
       those infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. We report an
       unusual presentation of visceral leishmaniasis in a patient with the
       acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with disease which appeared to
       be limited to the gastrointestinal tract.
