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.
