Abstract :
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), a systemic infection of the reticuloendotherlial
system, is caused by a parasitic infection.
The co-occurrence of VL and hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) has been
previously reported in several studies. In this report we present two cases of
HPS and VL among members of the same family.
