Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease caused by Leishmania donovani complex. Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is a rash that can occur following treatment for VL due to L. donovani species. We describe an unusual case of PKDL occurring during treatment for Leishmania infantum VL in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus-co infection.
