Abstract

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) due to visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has not been previously reported. This case report analyzes a single episode of AOSD probably due to a visceral leishmaniasis successfully treated with pentamidine isethionate and prednisone.

Keywords: Adult‐onset Still's disease; fever of unknown origin; visceral leishmaniasis
